FDX-New Negotiating Committee Chairman
#11
Dave or John G. are the obvious candidates. John has tremendous experience in Negotiating, R & I, and scheduling. In addition he is a mid level Seniority guy (Read no special interest). Many remember Mike W., lots and lots of baggage. the rest just don't have the requisite experience IMHO.

Way to go DS for stepping up!
This guy is completely committed to the betterment of the entire pilot group and is a no nonsense guy all the way around, a total straight shooter. His knowledge of the contract is extremely sound and he would be a great choice.
Outstanding that we've got a couple of sharp guys in the hunt.

Don't know DS, but I do know JG would be a good choice. Has the experience and knows the issues. Just wondering, I know the interviews are open to the membership, but what about the MEC deliberation and vote. That is what I would make a trip to MEM to see. Would like to see if DW tries to steer the MEC to his choice. At least, I would like to know how each MEC member voted.

Be Politically Active or Be a Political Victim

"I read an e-mail from our Pilot-to-Pilot Vice Chairman Captain Bob Wallace the other day and he wrote something that crystallizes the basic truth of our American system of government. We can be politically active or we will be political victims."
Last communication update from this empty suit was August, is their any reason why we can not have streaming video, or a "twitter" update in real time as to what is taking place during the interview process, or for that matter a timely summation of the days activities?

"Tomorrow a Special MEC Meeting will convene to begin the interview process for the open Negotiating Committee Chairman position. The Special MEC Meeting is scheduled to conclude on Thursday, December 4th.
All interviews will be conducted in open session so that interested members in good standing may attend."
This is directed at the FDX ALPA leadership and NC chair candidates--
What a bunch of losers you are, with an issue as important as this that affects the immediate future of relations vis a vis our pilot group and the company, not ONE of the candidates has seen fit to introduce himself nor were they compelled to. Its as if we were chosing an NC chair by shooting at a barrel of fish, blindly. Who are these guys? Buds of some of you, or "good guys" who bought the beer on a layover. Meh! Thursday the process ends, and will we hear about who was "selected" from on high above, or maybe not. Open session, hardly.

Thanks Micro for the timely response, but I believe everyone in good standing should have received an email as to who the candidates are, but little is known of their seniority or block membership and previous experiences. Thank you for being upfront, but no disrespect intended when I say I have heard the "I will be upfront and a standup guy when I am elected(seated) routine". All I am pointing out is if we have a comm guy(do we?) lets hear some salient facts without the lawyer BS inherent in our comms.
