My point is the LEC rep appears to have run his council update thru the 4th floor prior to publishing it.

Oh and that Capt rep will not be picketing. Hows that for union leadership.

I wonder how the teamsters would handle that.

You make it sound like he refuses to picket. I just finished reading the update. Here's the context you chose to leave out.

"While in New York, your MEC and a number of committee members participated in a picketing event at Delta’s annual shareholders’ meeting.

The MEC’s Strategic Preparedness and Strike Committee has established June 24 as the date for system-wide informational picketing. Click on the graphic below to volunteer to picket or otherwise assist with picketing efforts.


The following is the schedule for CVG:
Brief: 8:00 a.m.
Picketing: 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Meeting Location: Doubletree Airport
(2826 Terminal Dr.)


Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this event, as it was scheduled right in the middle of my primary vacation, and I will be out west under a dark sky."

Sounds like he already had plans well before picketing was ever scheduled. I don't think the Teamsters would have a problem with that.

I agree - I would not expect anyone to cancel a long planned vacation to join in the picketing.

On the other hand you do not seem very consistent in your criticisms of DALPA. I do find it a bit telling that you go out of your way to defend some DALPA types, while being extremely critical of others. What do you use as your criteria for who we should support and who we should be critical of?

What is right and what is wrong. In this case, we agree that a rep should not be criticized for simply going on a pre-planned vacation rather than picketing. That's far different than a rep who abuses FPL. I won't criticize the former. I'll certainly criticize the latter.

Still hoping for that ethics committee.

Were you critical of that when your pals were in power? I'll bet this is a new thing.

As far as Regional airlines go (which Delta is fast becoming) it would have been industry leading.

I had vacation and I signed up to picket. It's not an either or. I guess once was enough for him to be shamed into wearing orange. He put it on for picketing. His face looks pained in the pics. Word is he took off the lanyard immediately after picketing and was the only rep who never wore it at the MEC meeting.

Dark sky indeed.

I was more referring to your criticism of Chairman Malone.

Excessive FPL use is fair game.
