ACL or any 54 folks have an answer?
His phone number and email is on the ALPA site, why don't you give him a call or send an email yourself?

It takes less time than waiting for a response here, then you can report back and it will be first hand info, and not "well, my best friend's girlfriend's step-brother's half cousin (twice removed) said XXX"

Anything else is kinda weak sauce.

Either way, nothing will surprise me. At this point, I know if I think I have it figured out, it's just a matter of time before someone tells me I'm totally wrong. It sounds like a joke, or a good t-shirt slogan, but unfortunately it's not.

Maybe one of the experts can come on here and set us straight. I'm all ears.

Thank You."

Tracy Wolfson: " You're welcome."

Now I don't know what side of the Rocky Top Holler you grew up on, but here in Georgia, we listen a bit better. You are wrong...admit it for once rather than double down. That is the exact transcript verbatim with all the umm's, uhh's and but's.
Fair enough. I was wrrrrr.... wrrroooo... wwrrrrrooonnnnn..

damn

Harder than i thought.

Yeah.. I was wrong.

It looks like UCAL is extending interviews to guys with previous job offers. Class dates in November. If you would have told me three years ago that I'd have more chance to progress there than at Delta, I would have said, "Not a chance." Now, not so sure. Thoughts?

I'd stay far away. Tons of guys still on furlough, no contract, no integrated seniority list, no health care for your first 6 months, etc.

Anyone hear when or if we'll get a printed copy of the new contract? Contract says no later than 90 days after date of signing. I e-mailed a rep and he didn't know.

Thanks.

Kind of like you'd do as a Rep?

Maybe C44 Reps only talk to the MEC Chairman and his cabinet
I changed the question to direct it to C54 pilots.

I didn't know I had to go through you and Nu to find out what are appropriate questions to ask, especially with your posting history here.

Seems strange that two C20 guys immediately responded to what should be a simple question, why hasn't a rep flown in over a year. I thought you guys were worried about representing C20, not C54.

But since you're here, maybe you can straighten something out. I'm hearing that another poster wasn't right, that it wasn't DPA that went to the CPO. Did TT go to the CPO rather than ProStan over the DPA jumpseat issue? I'd have a real problem if my ALPA representative went to the company first. What's the truth, as you guys seem to be so connected?

Isn't there a DALPA webboard for all you guys that like to slime each other. Can't all y'all move the angst over there.
