Regardless, there's absolutely no excuse for not releasing survey results after the contract is ratified by pilots. Yet the union's position is to never release them. That's simply stubborn arrogance.

Carl, you selectively read my post.

Because the union is in ongoing negotiations; our survey is used as a guiding document as time goes on. It's not a star chamber issue. Although it may seem like that I think there is a good reason for keeping them closely held.

Yes, the unanimous vote to be the Strategic Planning Committee chair. So explain again how that makes Clamp wrong for his concern about Harwood being anywhere near the NEGOTIATING TABLE?

What I was told by someone close to the situation is he was more interested in what the ATL reps had to say. I have also seen a few email responses and was less than impressed.

I have recently heard he has realigned himself recently after some recall talk.

I will be at the meeting on the first and ask him what he supports

Please get back to us with your impressions. I hope you're hearing wrong.

Bingo!

And he said so happily on here that he was done with union work. ;)

Didn't mean to selectively read it. I still disagree. Ongoing negotiations is no excuse because non-Section 6 negotiations are almost always based on contemporaneous events that require mid-course corrections. These events are rarely covered in a Section 6 survey because of the inability to predict future events.

Again, it's an excuse for continuing a top-down management style done in secrecy. It also conveniently allows our union leadership protection against being measured for effectiveness.

I can see your argument. But I respectfully disagree. Even a small amount of Intel is invaluable on the other end of the table.

Always.

I'll leave it there.

His election to the merger committee was unanimous because he ran unopposed.

His confirmation as strategic planning chair was fairly contentious. Some raised voices. One person does not typically get to be chair of two major committees.

First time in the last few years someone was successfully separated from the "group" confirmation process. His confirmation was only 13-6.

Should be easy to figure out. Carl and purple claimed that Shiz was voted out because he voted for C12. What rep that cast a vote in favor of C12 sought reelection and lost? I'm not aware of any, though I might be mistaken.

I suspect that (as usual) some are playing fast and loose with the facts to suit their own divisive agenda.

Once he has that, he always goes too far and gets fired for bad actions and absolutely horrific interpersonal skills. Right now, he's the defacto MEC chairman now that Donutelli has proven to be worthless.

He has a strong set of supporters despite the fact he has an exceedingly low opinion of line pilots. Read back through some of his posts here for review.

Carl

Wow Carl.

For a north guy, you nailed. Just forgot to add extremely arrogant. No matter how hard he tries to be important in the world of ALPA, he'll never measure up to his brother.

Sure trying but at our expense.

I have flashbacks of the 1.56 ratio.
