Cal 171 LEC update.
The SPSC has been directed to formulate a response intended to show management, the media and the traveling public our outrage at management’s actions and our displeasure with management’s outdated philosophy concerning outsourcing. Your MEC will review the details of these plans as part of a Special MEC meeting scheduled for next week.
With regards to the pilots of SKYWEST and the rumor of jump seat issues, all I can say is that we are not at that point—YET. Keep in mind, however, SKYWEST has voted down ALPA representation on several occasions. I’m hoping they are starting to realize the detriment to their careers should they choose to fly stolen work. Captain Pierce has requested Captain Prater’s approval to reach out to the SKYWEST Pilots’ Association leadership so that they are fully aware of our position regarding this flying.
