Sounds fair to me, and I'll agree with you; if it's required and if there is ONE guy that wants to see it, then by all means...

Actually I contacted the communications chair. Seems like a nice enough guy, that says he is interested in doing the right thing. He said the MEC didn't think that publishing the FPL was required and he wasn't going to pursue the issue any further. I sent him the reference from the ALPA Admin manual requireing that provisions for publishing the FPL be contained in the SPA policy manual (below). So far no response...



Admin Manual Section 60.M.2.a.4(c)(d)


Master Executive Council policies shall include the following:

(c) Provision for publishing MEC policy on flight pay loss/member compensation
and expenses on the MEC website

(d) Provision for making ALPA paid (directly or by reimbursement to the carrier)
flight pay loss/compensation received by members available to the MEC and
membership on at least a calendar quarterly basis.
