I know there are several 3Ls that can attest to poor treatment by USAPA reps. In fact I've heard several stories of 3Ls bringing legitimate concerns to the CLT BPR reps, only to be told that they're entitled junior pilots.
I don't know what camp I want to join, but you know as well as I do that if you weren't in a certain demographic you didn't matter to USAPA (only your dues money). I'm not fully convinced that USAPA didn't see 3Ls as sacrificial lambs at some point to get what the wanted.

How many are below you on the list you are operating on?
Many third listers are enjoying more seniority than west listers that have been here far longer.
You wonder why they are less than cordial?
As for aircraft configurations I call BS.

So it's our fault based on geography and we deserve to be treated like crap? Wow.

Have you read eaglefly's posts?
How about if we are allowed to elect our own committee?

Agree. You guys have no bone in this fight. Are some envious of the out of order positions and bidding power 3rd listers enjoy, absolutely. But it isn't your fault and you are only bidding the position you can hold based on the side the company chose to place you.
There have been some third listers who have been vocal about protecting their out of seniority gains, but they are few and far between.
As for funny stuff found in aircraft, I think it was happening on both sides. I've personally found FADEC's powered off and other small stuff.

R57,
Start selling expensive ties like the West, see how much change you can collect. I doubt participation from our 3L pilots will be very high. Bottom line, we're all ready to move forward. It seems that the writing is on the wall and the NIC is imminent. Now all of the sudden you guys care about our (3L) representation?
