Default Negotiating Committee/Chairman Openings

From the MEC Message Line today:

"The MEC has a well defined protocol in place for selecting the next Negotiating Committee Chairman and members and is now soliciting ALPA members willing to make a multi-year commitment in the service of their fellow pilots.

The MEC will be meeting in a special session on Tuesday, September 25th to consider the initial applicants for the Negotiating Committee Chairman position. If you are interested in serving on the Negotiating Committee, please contact MEC Secretary-Treasurer, Wes Reed at [email protected] to receive more information regarding the process. Additionally, please be sure to have a detailed resume prepared."

Does anybody have any insight on what that protocol is and what exactly they would be looking for in the resume?

Does anybody think it would be possible to serve on the committee and flex at the same time?

Thanks for any answers.

FJ

I'm pretty sure you have to be a union member, so that would eliminate Bobby Purple.

Well, you'll probably fly very little for the next three to five years, spend most of your time in MEM at the union office or in Herndon at ALPA HQ, and when you finish up the next negotiation, about half the people here will think you're an idiot and hate your guts. As for being a flex at the same time, imho, not a chance. Your training manager won't want a flex who is never there.

Which is why we need Foxhunter in the job! He doesn't care that everybody hates his guts (now George, I'm just kidding). As for Bobby Lightpurple, he's way to smart to even know that everybody hates his guts.

FoxHunter would be a great negotiating committee chairman if only he was half as smart as he thinks he is. He knows everything about everything and is a chronic ALPA basher. I say we give him a chance to put his VAST expertise to work for the benefit of his fellow pilots.

Thanks for volunteering George ...
