Im not taking sides in another councils dispute but this argument you propose can go both ways. If I read you correctly, you are saying the FO reps are not working with the Capt reps...........could not the opposite be said too?

I agree that this probably happens. What I don't like is the refusal to discuss and debate afterwards. To me, it's like saying, "I know it all and talking to the other side won't change my mind." That's not right.

Can you name something specific on the horizon?

It has the potential to be significantly different. Gains like 5:15 ADG can be made mid cycle. Capt Malone's Admin brings a firm but reasonable approach to engaging management that has a proven track record of success. Captain Bartel's admin has a track track record of being very militant and adversial. History has proven over and over that the militant approach yields little to no results.

Big decisions like virtual bases are on the horizon. Will Kern and Johnson listen to the will of 44 or follow their own mantra?

Do you not realize that there are different opinions out there? Do you think everything should be unanimous, which would essentially make it unilateral?

80 Johnson is right about NewK Johnson's being right.

Of course there are different opinions out there. That's why I find it odd that some here would presume to speak for the typical line pilot. That's why I wrote, that we will soon see what the typical line pilot cares about. And no, everything doesn't need to be unanimous. I never said it did.

That's true as well.

So, every important vote made by a rep in which you disagree with should trigger a recall?

We're gonna be recall machines.


"Gonna?" I think that ship already sailed. Unfortunately it appears that we are recall machines. :cool:

So you want a MEC that management walks all over just to net you more $$$? We all know that's all you care about. Don't forget a line pilot saved us from the "inadvertently" filed 9:45 exemption. Malone and crew had no idea they were being played. Would BB have caught it? Who knows but it's obvious things have changed and we need someone who will stand up.

Does that include your reps?

It sailed in 2015 with an orgy of recalls, loudly cheered on SM and by the two f/o reps being recalled. The hypocrisy is dripping.
