Glad to see us tackling the protection of our charter flying. Also, they are looking hard at this RAH situation.
Captain O’Malley also reports the f-NWA Trip Rig Grievance should be advanced to a System Board, which was a big gripe for some here.
Tip of the hat in the direction of our MEC Chairman, the Reps and those who make this stuff happen.
+1 gotta give credit, when credit is due.
I appreciate getting an email update on what happened in an MEC meeting within a day of the meeting. This
is a different MEC than the LM administration.
I didn't read the RAH thing as resolved either and I see two possible scenarios developing:
Down the road the RAH issue is resolved and RAH is excluded from DCI flying, thus validating the intent of the language in our contract.
Or
RAH's status remains status qou in wich case there is a clear and imminent need to overhaul our Section 1 patterned more after the AF JV. I for one would like to see
any permitted flying subject to an annual review with specified remedies to put some teeth back in our contract.
Cheers
