Fdx Mec Rep Recall
 

I’ve been reading the posts about pilots dissatisfaction with the way the MEC and DW is/has handled the Age 60 Issue as well as other issues at FDX. However, I don’t see or hear much about what’s being done to change the MEC representatives. I understand that the issue of recall of representatives has been requested for LEC 26’s next meeting. Any other LEC initiating the same action?? In my opinion, I’ve seen enough “spin” and “damage control” from this MEC and it’s officers. It’s time for them to go.

Micro,

The Age 60 ruling is going to change! Period! Whether we like it or not. A pilot on the seniority list deserves to be able to bid and hold whatever his or her seniority allows. Questions? None! Let's put that issue away.

We have a bigger issue coming up. A potential LOA covering two new foreign domiciles. This is going to have a big impact on FedEx's crew force. Many of you have no interest in bidding either domicile. I understand that. But, everyone needs to understand the issues and not allow a substandard LOA to be shoved down our throat.

If our leadership rolls over on this one, then I am one that will be advocating regime change.

Prezbear, The age 60 ruling is NOT the issue. The issue is substandard representation and leadership by our MEC and Officers on a number of issues that age 60 was only a part of. I don't trust them anymore on any issue. How many times do you have to be "slapped" before you say ENOUGH (if they rollover on your next issue (potential LOA on foreign domiciles)???). My question was (and is): If the FDX pilots are angry and no longer trust this MEC and the officers, what's being done to change them.

Your right! I agree, Age 60 is not the issue. The issue here is representation. And I am sick of hearing, "You're only 80 guys! In reference to the Subic domicile.

Prez,

Before you get into a big discussion with him looks like he just signed up and has 2 posts. Smells a bit fishy....


Past...

Yes, you're only 80 guys, but with very BIG smiles on your faces.:D :D

Jet,

Do you have any idea how expensive two smiley faces are in Hong Kong?? Ok, well I don't either, but they can't be cheap. Di ba?

Yogi Bear- I think everyone wanting th age 60 rule to change is trying to put out the perception that its a done deal. Hoping people will just accept it and be quiet.

This rule is not a Slam dunk! Have you ever heard of the NPRM? Even Blakley said we will listen to everyone during the NPRM. And if the Silent Majority gets Vocal, this rule will die. Especially when the AMR, APA, NWA and the 70% of all other 121 pilots say go pack sand ICAO.

I can see why all you old farts are trying to spin it this way, hoping everyone has Apathy.

130JDrvr, I didn't "know" that subjects couldn't be discussed just because someone just joined the forum:confused:. But to rid the fishy smell...the site would not accept ANY new registrations for about a weeks time around the beginning of the month. And what, nobody wanted to answer you when you only had two posts:D. So how about your view on the subject??

The Alpa constitution makes it very hard to get rid of representatives and even harder to get rid of an officer (DW, WH, CB). But the start is getting the request for recall ballots on your LEC's agenda through your LEC Chairman in writing. Then we get to decide if their out or not. Hopefully all the "anger" I see on this forum gets directed to remove these representatives and officers.
