I'm wondering what these 4 things were. I guess it's too hard for DW and the MEC to let the membership know seeing we get such limited communications anyway. Must be due to all that national tasking....sarcasm

Mike,
I've been taking it all with a grain of salt, these days. But, if you take DW's comments at face value, it seems the MEC realizes something needs to be adjusted to accomodate new A/C.

"In spite of the fact that the MEC supported the concept of facilitating the pass-over pay issue for a finite period of time in order to support the launch of the 757, management’s position at the December 6th meeting made that impossible."

Sounds to me we're stuck on the "quid" of quid-pro-quo. I'm not opposed to open dissent, but it almost sounds as if you've got a dog in this fight. Good luck to all of us.

The last union officer that tried to sell us a POS TA got rewarded by the company and is now the Vice-President of Flight Operations! Kind of makes you go hmmmmmm ......
