you need a rep with balls to submit a change to the by-laws to require pilot votes be much more clearly defined... and other reps that won’t be swayed by the lawyers. The ALPA lawyers are great at telling pilots, see... it says right here any significant change to wages or working conditions requires a pilot vote.... then at MEC meetings telling the reps that they (the MEC) get to define “significant.”

it allows the MEC chairman the ability to make quick grabs when the company puts something on the table that if a vote were required could result in the company changing their mind before it’s done...
kinda like the last AIP the company yanked back.

Good points and bad points. Mostly bad in my opinion from years of observation. Teamsters requires pilot votes on ALL changes to the CBA, not just wages and work rules. An MOU/LOA is only for clarifying existing ratified language, not making changes. It’s a better way in my opinion.
