They pay for the scheduling chair that gains hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for improper trip coverage. I am sure they hate that too, but the position is covered. Cripes.

It does not marginalize these guys. It saves about 4-5 million from our 10 or so million a year for the MEC operation for other items like PUB events, the SEMRA etc. I'd say its not a way to marginalize us.

Again, if there are transparency issues in DALPA, they are not because of the structure. People make those decisions, not the structure. Ugh.

Amazing that you could say that, after you posted this garbage:







You really are the Bill Clinton of budding ALPA politicians. More importantly, you and Johnso29 are moderators. You're supposed to know better. I shouldn't be the one having to tell you two to take it to the other thread.

If there are any other real moderators out there, maybe we should move all of these posts from our two merry band of moderators to the other thread to pre-empt another DPA back and forth.

They passed the line from 'wrong' to just flat out lying about the events.

As is nearly always the case, you miss the point. It's almost as if your "My ALPA Right Or Wrong" (MAROW for short) attitude keeps you from any comprehension. The point is that 24J shouldn't be there. Our union personnel should not be paid by management for work they are doing on OUR behalf. Mangement pays us for work we do on THEIR behalf, and that's how it should be. This current situation of management paying for union work is wrong. Period. If you allowed your MAROW eyes to open, you'd see that.

Hey Carl and gang,

I emailed my reps and was pleasantly surprised by the reply. My first reply came at midnight. The second showed up in my inbox before I woke up the next morning. These guys are working 24/7. I did not ask for numbers or specifics nor did I expect any in the replies. I will not quote or copy and paste their private email on here. I will state that you could infer that they strongly agree with the following quote; "Not one more seat, not one more jet". Hopefully the scheduling gods will be nice so I can attend the meeting next week. Talking directly to my reps sure has helped alleviate the anxiety from reading the doomsday forums! Underboob please.....

Again, you don't get it. Our pay should be increased by a commensurate amount of our dues increase so that OUR DUES pay for these union activities. It would be a dollar for dollar wash, except that all of those dollars would come from the members...not management.
