Possibly a few not flyable. Mistreated. Spare parts planes. But maybe they can work a miracle.[/QUOT. Where are these 717's coming from?:confused:

You're an insider with the DALPA administrative junta, and you noticed.

Name calling won't change facts Reroute. The NC did NOT have reps direction to reduce profit sharing. They did it anyway. And that wasn't all. The NC did other things they were not authorized to do by direction. They did it anyway. It's the primary reason reps removed some members of the NC, the MEC administration, and the MEC chairman afterward. Process was flatly ignored.

Again, IF you were on the call you'd have access to the transcripts and/or notes. You won't post them. Is it because you really weren't there? Who knows. Maybe you could tell us what your role was in the Union during C2012. Not enough detail to out yourself, just what Committe or whether you were a status rep.

I wonder how you live with yourself Carl, being a liar and all. I guess in your small and pathetic world the ends justify the means.

BTW, there are no transcripts of conference calls, but I'm sure you already knew that.

I previously asked you for transcripts and/or notes of the call. If there weren't transcripts taken, fine. How about posting the official notes of the call.

Or hey, how about moving Out of Base White Slip up in priortity over in base reserve like it was in C2K (when sick leave abuse was much lower) so a guy that wants the trip can fly it?

It should be that way. It's crazy that a guy willing to fly at straight time to add credit time can't do so out of base. If in-base guys don't want it, it should go to OOB guys who do.

Interesting post from our Union official D Mantooth. You know, the guy that "was there." It's intersting that this Union official would hurl these shots at another member, but he's a paragon of virtue by writing this?:

Carl,

I'm just a lurker. God willing, this will be the only post I make, as arguing on the internet is a bit like racing in the Special Olympics - even if you win, you're still...well, you know.

Isn't it comforting to know we have such men in our Union leadership?

We're in big trouble when FTB has to be the disciplinarian around here.

The factor that most probably contributes to sick leave abuse is Capped Reserve Days.

And the company can very easily track your efforts to get out of the trip before resorting to a sick call. Unfortunately, Sick Calls generate Green Slips and we must like those enough to have our integrity questioned, but on the off chance we're seeking to remedy the practice,

What about if we negotiated an additonal APD to make 2 a year?

How about a Call in Honest to the CP for a drop?

Or hey, how about moving Out of Base White Slip up in priortity over in base reserve like it was in C2K (when sick leave abuse was much lower) so a guy that wants the trip can fly it?

How about a trip in open time picked up within 24 hrs of report pays 1.5x or 2x or something similar to the swa system?

My SLOA was 90% verified so that wasn't discussed (they tried we didnt) and my MLOA was on the up and up and is protected by federal law. The CP were professional-the FOMs...idiots. In the end I gave them some orders...nothing came of it and that was that. Well...that and I talked to the Dept of Labor.

Sounds like you handled yourself great. But I'm curious whether they paid you for this "interview"? I don't mind cooperating on investigations for free, but other than that, I would need a day of pay to come in and discuss anything outside of a specific investigative need.

That is not how the SWA system works. It is basically the same as our system. Trips at straight rates are processed first. Difference here is no cap on pickups. We don't want that at Delta! Remaining trips go to overtime volunteers at 1.5 pay. We get double at Delta. Any trips left are assigned at double pay. That part is the same as Delta. Management would be ecstatic if we offered up the SWA system!
