This may have already been discussed but did anyone see the resolution passed by the ATL LEC where the reserve system would be moved to a straight seniority system? So basically what they are saying is that a junior pilot should now reach ALV+15 before a more senior pilot could be touched. Total BS. What's the motto? Schedule with safety?????

That's the way it used to be. I don't really see the company ever going back to it. Not unless we give up HUGE back to them.

However, to ease your angst, I give you the triple underboob!

That's the way it used to be, but without the PBS rules that allow bidding without hard lines of reserve, without ALV +15, without pay of ALV -2 (e.g. 70 hrs, vs 82 hours in Jul), etc. So, maybe they could give all that up and get their old rules back.

new service:

LAX PDX 4x Daily
LAX SEA goes to 5x Daily

A few months away from memo detailing "Delta growing west coast operations" ...priceless!

The resolution was "postponed to a date certain" which will be the next MEC meeting this Aug in SEA. At that time there should be sufficient pilot input for a decision.

There will be opportunities to provide input going forward so the mec has recent data on the issue. Want it or don't want it. Happy, not happy, whatever it is, give your input when asked. If you are silent on the issue you may see results you do not like.

Too difficult and too destructive to recall the President of the organization over line item issues when there is a failure of governance (even I don't advocate a recall, but as long as he remains in power everyone fears even sending a letter which might hurt politically - difficult to get Reps to put the health of the organization over the short term political gamesmanship) Should we recall Reps for that? I think not.

The "Executive Branch" of our union has to have a lot of power to hold the association together. That power has to be used wisely.

The membership need an enforcement mechanism (short of the Courts) to resolve governance issues. A recall is too severe and too disruptive to the association and it's members. The issue is ripe for a cure. Anyone have suggestions?

Yes, if you desire direct or more direct elections you know the process. It starts with a resolution at the LEC level. Bring one forward if you desire.

And when that resolution passes, then gets killed by MEC inaction or outright ignoring of the policy, you'll say: "hey, the process worked. You tried, your idea didn't carry the day. Lets move on." I know because you said this exact thing when the flight pay loss resolutions were ignored. That's the problem acl.
