Honest truth is that probably 60% of pilots dont know what is going on with the union on a daily basis and they aren't signed up for textcasters or even checking their union emails...
Most do not agree with the NC recall, even if they do, they don't agree with how blatantly it was done at the first chance 165/169 could overpower via roll call.
165 and 169 need to have their own recalls in a meeting ASAP to see if that truly is what was wanted. They boned 2300 pilots because of some personal vendettas against "the good ole boys".
MP and JH keep claiming that the mediator said JL was hurting us more than helping... that is a half truth. People who were actually there said JL was too much of a hard ass against the company and they hated dealing with him. THAT is the kind of person you want on the NC. Any single one of the NC committee members would answer questions or give you reasons behind what they were doing and asking for and why you dont ask for more or keep expectations.
Now we have two LECs who think they can vote in some hardass people and go get a contract in a few weeks with ALPA training and never have been in a negotiation before. That isn't the case. You are not getting anything for AQP. an LOA for AQP is a NICE thing the COMPANY is giving us if we get one. They DO NOT have to do anything for us about AQP and can implement it at will. Any ask above and beyond for compensation or not implementing AQP until we get something is a slap in the face to the whole point of increasing safety which is the reason ALPA is here.
165 and 169 are telling half truths to keep their LECs misled and ruining the whole 2300 pilots as a result.
I am not in their LECs, and neither are a lot of pilots... So our voices just dont matter? The videos that surfaced of JH talking to a recurrent class was an absolute dumpster fire for someone who is supposed to have all the answers as to WHY they did what they did, but he stumbled over himself and spewed nothing of substance the whole 13 minutes. Because of these decisions for supposed reps of the pilots (themselves), now 2300 pilots are hosed out of negotiations for at least 6 months, and also losing out on probably 60-100k a piece due to the delay, which is a lot more than the 70k of a "wasted" meeting.
