FDX- Mandate for next NC Chair
Lots of debate on http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/cargo/ on why NC Chair is gone.
What is the MEC looking for in a new NC Chair that will be different than the old one? Didn't see that info in the message line.
777 deal instead of going to arbitration?
Min BLG relief for furlough mitigation?
No focus on mitigation at all?
As many have expressed, this situation has raised more questions than it has answered. These questions are objective and it would be good to know where FDX negotiations are going. It is not, in any shape or form, an attack on any individual involved.
Is it too much to ask where we are headed?

I've received 2 e-mails requesting applicants for NC Chair.
Assuming Chair applicants don't know any more than the average union member---
Why would someone sign up for NC Chair when they don't know what is expected or what will get them fired?

Spoke with my block rep who said there at least three guys in the running for NC chair that he considers just as qualified and experienced as FE. Only name I remember is a negotiating team member JI. FWIW. And, as unpopular as the sentiment is, I suggest we get behind whoever the new one is the same way we supported FE. It can't hurt. While I do think something "shady" went on with the whole FE thing, it behooves us to move on. I'm not saying forget about it...I'm just saying we need to keep looking forward. Unfortunately, it's a done deal, the resignation is in and can't be undone. Moving forward will benefit us all.
