Just goes to show you that the MEC did NOT really do their homework on these FDA's and fell for the typical "we'll open the FDA's under the current CBA" line from management! I can see the egg all over their face now.
Its also funny how, NOW THAT THE VOTE IS OVER, my emails from the comapny AND the union have suddenly stopped...hmmmm, thats strange. NOT! The LOA is a joke and whoever voted in favor of it (still can't find anyone that did) should be ashamed of themselves.
Looks like we'll be hiring sooner than we thought!

Well...for those of you in block 2, Mike Williams is proudly sharing his exploits on being part of the NC so long. Now he wants to be a block rep. Do you want to reward him for that LOA or give someone else a shot?

HaHaHaHa, my point exactly!
FDA Deposit Assistance
FCIF 07-0610 (Admin)
As we learned from the establishment of our FDA in Subic Bay and as we
will all surely learn from our establishment of FDAs in Paris and Hong
Kong, there are certain unexpected idiosyncrasies that could not be
anticipated by either the Company or ALPA that nevertheless need to be
addressed in preparing to open an FDA abroad. In the case of both the
Hong Kong and Paris FDAs, it has become clear that, in order for pilots to
secure apartments in either of these cities, a substantial security
deposit may be required.
NFS! Like that wasn't clear from the beginning. Looks like all those unfilled FO slots are getting the companies attention! Its still not enough but it will make it easier for the captains!

From: 777 FO
On the crew bus this morning and a MD-11 FO asked his CA if he was going to bid HK. The CA said no, of course, then added they didn't fill all of the slots. The FO then said "Well, I guess they'll have to junior man it." I said the company couldn't do that, and he seemed surprised. The CA then said the company would just have to SVT people. Then the FO said .... drum roll.... "What's that?" I almost died. The idiot probably was one of the 68% too. I kept my trap shut, but it was hard.

Albie....not sure about the protocol of you, standing for election in one block, commenting about a candidate in another block election. Losing some big style points here and if you and he both win, I'm thinking he might not be shot in the a$$ with working with you on some important union business. What have you gained with this posting? No gain, just pain, nice work.
