Ultimately, we believe that agreements can be reached, especially relative to the retirement incentive plan that will benefit the pilot group.
Asked...answered. Expressed...addressed. In the end...specific direction. What questions? What concerns? What specifics, or specific direction, now that I think of it???? Sounds like something out of freakin' "Catch 22".
Tried every phone number I can find, and I still can't get an answer from anyone drawing union pay regarding the progress of the PERP. Most of the time I can't even get my phone calls returned.
Not sure about the rest of you guys, but I for one expect answers to my questions instead of platitudes delivered in a mass email from my seemingly absentee LEC reps....
(and I'm in the "militant" council... Jeez.)
Hey if your looking for some REAL helpful, information make sure you check out the fancy magazine we get every month.
It's got alot of fancy words in it that are difficult to understand, but the pictures are bright, colorful, and fun to look at. It warms my heart with reassurance when I see all those fresh-faced, ALPA-Lanyarded pilots smiling from ear to ear. I can only dream that my 2% will one day give me a reason to smile and grin with the same confidence of popping a handful of Freshmint Mentos in my mouth while avoiding a possibly awkward, social situation.
