Directly from page 47 of the ALPA Policy Manual "Membership Ratification apply to contracts only and will not apply to Letters of Understanding (LOU) or Letters of Agreement (LOA)."

Your rep is your vote. Don't like it, change your rep. It has been done before. ZB lead a recall in ORD in the past.

I doubt that.

Chicago upheld the tradition from what I’m told… the one where they listen to pilot input and vote the way their pilots want. That tradition was started by the immortal TC… and carried on after he left.

DFW needs to get their act together imo, we're about to have leverage again and we need a steady hand on the tiller so we don't blow it. Again.

There was no reason to give the company this gift while they're JMing the hell out of us.

Honestly, the ORD rep who voted no loves him some OT. He did what he saw as right anyway. I give them all credit because it is a tough job balancing what the pilots want and what you view as the best tactical move. Remember that negotiating strategy is kept secret to the extent possible, so they have to sometimes vote a certain way knowing that they have more information than the pilots.

Immortal? That’s a bit over the top, even for this forum.

It’s hyperbole. But he is a good dude. I hope he’s having fun at his new adventure.

especially if the company “realizes the CBA needs improvements to attract new pilots”. One of the simplest things they could do is increase the flow and the cadets will come flocking

literally who f'n care about attracting cadets. Its not pilot job to. also not pilot job to give things away to get cadets to come here.
