Would you guys be happy with this? Say Delta Furloughs, even if Comair guys are furloughed, the Delta guys would get Comair jobs in the most senior aircraft on the property. The flip side they will bribe you with is that you get a flow through into Delta. Well, Compass already has a flow through, so they would be called before you. Not sure about Mesaba, buy they might get flow through before you as well. It's a bad idea. Don't you just love how "My MEC speaks for me," yet we were never even consulted.
Turbodog, is the leaflet you are talking about produced by the Union trying to sell the idea of a flowthrough agreement? I have not been to ops for a long time and have not seen it yet. If you can, please PM me more info about it.
I'm with you ragarding the union, they are not helping us in anyway. But at the same time, us as a pilot group are not doing our job to protect our self because we are not voting during the union elections. I looked at the results of the elections for the last union rep, only five people voted for him, none for the other guy. I'm sure he only got the votes of his friends. We need to everything possible to vote people that we think will work hard to save the jobs of our pilot group.
