Okay, Lets go one by one:
You say you were there to fight for your rep's position. What positions does he hold? Does he want PSPP and if so at what current A-plan equivalent? 320K, 340K, 360K, ETC. How about pay rates? Do you know what he will fight for at the table? Work rule improvements? Since you don't know, Please admit you don't know. Now ask yourself, would you elect a rep for government who would not take a stand on the issues of the day?
Glad to hear he answers your calls. Does he do that for every member of your council? OR does he admit he treats members in good standing as hostile?
I doubt, and will place a gentlemen's bet on how he votes regardless of the TA's value. It is a forgone conclusion.
So now opposition to vague terms can be labeled as hurting us? Are you saying be quiet and color, get in line, and the like? Wasn't this country founded on freedoms? Healthy debate leads to best value.
About growing up and getting behind our reps, isn't that how we got contract '15? How did that work. No, I want the facts. If our reps can't or won't tell us what they are fighting for, why are we standing behind them?
About what has ALPA done for me? Well if you go back the the presentation from the last Joint Council Meeting (in '19), there was a two page list presented to the pilots and family members who attended.
I get holding representatives accountable takes work, but can we afford not to? How much did we leave on the table the last time? How is it different this time?
NO I don't expect you to answer any of these publicly, but if you can't answer them privately, what are you standing behind. And if you can, your rep violated Executive Session Confidentiality.
I do agree we need demand all the improvements we deserve. With all the efficiencies gained during the last six years, and no improvement in the last 22 years to our A-plan, my ask is higher than your reps, that I am sure.
