I'd pay a sizable assessment to hire RA as our MEC chairman and pay him whatever he wants.

Pro-Diem... no question about it. They are hands down the best! My CPA received my final tally in less than 24 hours from my final conversation with them.

Best money spent!

He already is our MEC chairman. He's doing a great job isn't he.

Whatever he wants? We may have to promote him to an ALPA General manager position to pay him that kind of money.

What ever happened to those 319's back when it was "717's or 319's"?

In any case, one would think it would be prudent to try and get some 19's or 700's to augment the RJ debacle. More B17's is a good start though.

True, although we'd have to make sure we could still afford to keep our EVP of West Coast Pilot Hiring (Brad Tilden).

Speaking of MEC Chairmen and ALPA paid possitions, anyone know why our just replaced ALPA National President's March bid award (NYC 767 ER wide report) shows a whole month of "ALPA" and 77 hours pay?

I thought he was going to come back to fly the line? Why is he still on ALPA trip drops all month in March? Has he got another full time ALPA job now?

Yeah, like we did in '09 when the company said we were over staffed, but hey, thanks for the LOA allowing us to ignore TLV DALPA. (Abused 88B on reserve)
