member dues. How do we give all those positions a minimum 14.3% raise and not raise dues? Go to DALPA.org and pull up the treasurer page. Go look at a quarterly FPL report and it’s 20 pages of volunteers. Each line is their monthly FPL. Maybe 30% are company paid.
Example: Pilot volunteers for Comm committee. They need them to attend MEC meeting in DTW.
Old schedule:
Sun night: Travel ATL-DTW unpaid
Mon: 5:15
Tues: 5:15
Wed: 5:15
Thu: 5:15, fly home on 5pm flight.
Total cost paid by dues: 21:00
Proposed schedule:
Sun night: Travel ATL-DTW 6:00
Mon: 6:00
Tues: 6:00
Wed: 6:00
Thu: 6:00, incentive to stay another night to get travel pay
Fri morning fly home DTW-ATL: 6:00, back by 9:00am.
Total cost paid by dues: 36:00
Cost increase to membership: 71.4%
I was not making a wider point justifying this raise, just commenting on the fact that if we gave only those positions (24.J) a raise to 50 hours a day at company cost, we'd still have chodes coming out of the woodwork complaining it's not fair.Originally Posted by Planetrain
If it was just for the MEC officers and a few other 24J positions, no one would care. It’s all the other part time positions proposed to be paid 6:00/day plus travel days. That expense is paid for bymember dues. How do we give all those positions a minimum 14.3% raise and not raise dues? Go to DALPA.org and pull up the treasurer page.
