when it’s a turd this bad, you should go public. The LOA is done.
oh, and their claims of following ALPA national policy is ridiculous. National policy doesn’t dictate when the pilots vote. The Envoy MEC By-Laws specify that. Unless they’ve changed it recently, it last said any significant changes to work rules or compensation require a pilot vote. The ALPA lawyers tell them (MEC) that they (MEC) decides what significant means. Well, that BS. File suit for failing their Duty of Fair Representation with an immediate injunction preventing ratification until the case is heard…. And let the judge decide what significant is. PBS is a huge huge change all by itself. They (MEC) have played fast and loose with that “significant” language since 2004. The lawyers like it because it makes their job easier. Reps and MEC officers come and go…. But the lawyers and staff have been there for decades. It works great for them.
their argument is if every LOA requires a pilot vote they won’t get as much from the company…. That’s BS too. If they want it, they’ll wait for a pilot vote. Heck, go look how many contract violations are still occurring with this management team. They can not be trusted.
