Hey all,

As someone still on probation, are we allowed to put the ALPA strike luggage tags on our bags? Don’t see anything in the FOM..

When you check in there is a very specific almost hidden selection you must make if you want a upgrade to EC. First is automatic, EC requires extra steps.

I’m not sure if it’s in a book, but if I was you I’d wait until off probation. We appreciate your desire to support ALPA, but we all understand.

fixed your post. It's subtle, but an important difference.

The gate agents also won’t come get you it EC opens after you board to main. Pick your poison - board late in hopes of an upgrade or board early and have space to stow your stuff.

I log in and look at the seats to make a decision. You can make a good guess. Once you board you are removed from standby lists. Good agents do seem to upgrade early.

When is the MEC Chair election?

Flew two trips recently, been in ATL quite a bit. I have seen 1 hat wearer in the last 3-4 weeks. Flight standards pilots I’ve seen have all been hatless.

As with all big orgs, there’s a small segment that thinks they’re “insiders,” and that’s more important to them than representing the union.

We’re all just numbers.

Funny, I just received an MEC email from someone lobbying for the position, so it must be on the horizon.

Someone famous. Or infamous, depending on who/what you believe.

Not a lobbying/anti lobbying board here, I'll just note it's worth reading your MEC communications for this.
