Upcoming Recall of the Yes 18
 

We all need to be involved in the recalls of the Yes 18.

Let's focus on one meeting at a time. Who has the next LEC meeting?

Everyone contact all the fellow pilots they know in that base. Ask them to attend the meeting with 3 proxies.

We all need to check schedules to see who is getting flight pay loss to attend the meeting.


They will stop at nothing to keep power.

Get involved and attain the PWA that reflects our sacrifice and contribution.

A fair agreement that shares the success we created with the billions in Delta pilot concessions.

Jerry

The process can be found in the ALPA CBL's.

As a DTW pilot, I do all that I can.

I will be calling every pilot I know in the bases where the Yes 18 are being recalled. Asking them to attend and carry proxies.

As you know, once they are recalled we can remove the entire shadow MEC.

If I were based in one of the Councils where the capt rep is a yes voter, I would definitely run against them. Or run to replace them after they are recalled.

I hope that you and everyone else on this forum will do the same.

Jerry

I don't know if every Rep that voted "yes" needs to be recalled, but certainly based on some of the writings and actions of some, I would surely support it. If the TA passes, then it is a moot point as far as time. If it fails, we have at least 2 to 3 years of mediation anyway, so we will have time to get some new people up to speed right? (Tic)

I respectfully disagree.

Management's thirst for concessions will only increase.

Read their June monthly update.

Parking 747s, 757s, 767s, MD 88s, as well as introducing A 350s, 787s and 190s coupled with massive pilot retirements is more than they can handle.

They will be back within 12 months looking for us to take yet more concessions to solve the nightmare they created.

Jerry

The "yes" voters are the problem, not the solution. Why on earth would you want any of them to remain?

Buck

We have much at risk, we have to remove the players who have failed us so completely.

We cannot be afraid.

Hanson and the shadow MEC are screaming fear.

Intimidation is not leadership.

We will succeed.

Jerry

Jerry remember that Bucking Bar and the ATL FO rep DN are very tight. That is the reason he is questioning this. He does not want to see his buddies political career over before it started.

I have resolved myself that the only way to fix this mess is the recall of at least 1/3 of these guys to swing the majority to the other side. The entrenched MEC members must go. I have heard from to many reps that they hold too much power.
