Did you read the negotiations update where it indicates the company will let us read LOSA results only after we sign a non-disclosure agreement? I'm fine with that...just as I'm fine with signing a non-disclosure agreement on the Enders report too.
I say NO to LOSA until they publish the Enders report. We don't need any more studies, we've already been studied! Hey ALPA: tell them to publish the Enders report and let's resolve whatever was identified in there, first.
I certainly understand your frustration over the Enders report. I think it is a joke too that it was not shared.
But, let me get this straight. You feel like there should be a change here at the company. The union and company have an agreement that will hopefully start to bring change. But you plan to debate with your Captain that they shouldn't do an observation ride in the interest of Safety because we haven't seen the Enders report. If that is really the case, then you are as guilty as the company in not moving forward.
I would imagine if you look at observations from the LOSA and Enders, they may very well show the same stuff, but if this is what it takes to get change around this place, then I am all for it. The Union negotiated this as an agreement, if we don't participate, what does that say about us as a pilot group.
Someone else mentioned it, safety should not be political.
This place doesn't change easily, they like to control. That is part of the culture. As I said, change doesn't come easy for some.
