My contempt is for the machinations of those that are attempting to use this event purely for political purposes. Two of the primary heating elements for the teapot are "unannounced" candidates for LEC office. Their motivation isn't to help, it's to divide. Ask them why they'd send a targeted e-mail only to North reps, or why they'd title a thread "Roberts unintentionally ressurected<sic>". The rest of the tempest comes from those that through misinformation legitimately believe that they might be affected, and another group of the usual suspects that even if their fears were true wouldn't be affected by the MOU due to their lack of seniority.
Slow,
Reference this and your previous post you are way off base. The suggestion this is about LEC election posturing is offensive. Targeted email to N-Reps? You mean like they wrote
their council Reps. A conspiracy for sure.
The abrogation of seniority is very real. The MOU did modify the TWG agreed to process to potentially harm DAL-N pilots. The argument that TWG agreements were only a "handshake" is preposterous, and even if you use your own argument that we have been under the DAL PWA section 22 since CBAID, you still modified the contract with the MOU because the you are not following section 22 (posting of vacancies). It required an LOA, period.
The utter arrogance to think you did not even need to bounce this off of the elected Reps or the pilots who have been using the previous system for a decade is amazing. Even if the Co. can tweak the staffing and block hours to show there would have been no awards, the process that led us here is fatally flawed.
Y'all screwed up, are too arrogant to admit it and fix it, and no matter how many times you repeat the spin, it's still just that.
I find it especially ironic that while any anonymous postings from APC posted on the DAL WB are lambasted as internet rumors, the MEC is here themselves trying to do damage control.
Oh the web we weave when we first start to deceive....
