You can use a Capt or FO rep to cover contract questions and get the 4-11. But that allows for each rep to do their normal stuff and only takes an extra 7 hours 6 days a month for the union to have presence and help build the group.
if this is easily torn down then please come up with a better solution. It seems fantastic to me and yes there is a cost to us and the company but you gain so much more transparency.
group chats only do so much. A dart is fantastic but it still doesn’t add that element of personal contact and the personal touch needed to build the group.
It's not a bad Idea. I like the Idea of bi-monthly meetings better. I get a lot out of listining to other peoples questions and problems. They add context and perspective to what is happening on the line with the added benifet of the union reps not answering the same questions over and over again. You are right about having Union Reps for every seat and every base. I know there is a head count requirment for an LEC but having two people cover MCO,TPA,MIA and SJU just is not workable.
