MEC meeting in Las Vegas
It is interesting to me to read the email saying the MEC is not going to meet in Florida next week due to Ian, Instead they are going to meet in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a large place, it is interesting to me to see the MEC did not tell us the location in Las Vegas where their meeting would be taking place, and if you look at the agenda (rev1.4 so far), there is no mention of "Member at Large" time denoted. YET they still want us engaged, supporting their efforts for contract 'XX, etcetera.
Another failure of self inflicted lack of leadership. And Yes I did write my rep, in fact I wrote them all, yesterday. So is the take away, don't bother us, but do what we say? Who works for Whom? |

They also explained that it is now being held in Las Vegas. They also said, contact your representative if you wish to run for the FDX EVP job (you should rather than just whining on APC). I’m fairly certain you will get a reply - by the way, it was probably overkill to email “all of your reps”? You actually only have one Block Rep but three total elected representatives that make up your Local Council. Regardless, I’m sure you will get the details you need to make the trip to Vegas. They are also posting for a new EA job to assist the MEC Chair - you should definitely apply for that as well. I’m sure he could use your help. While you are there, drop in for the member at large and say hello. I’m sure they would love to see you as well. The takeaway is you can exercise your rights regardless of location- FLL, LAS, or MEM! |
It was not due to Hurricane Ian, not sure where you got that from.

There has been numerous articles about the move due to the BOD not being able to hold the meeting due to “unforeseen circumstances” at the hotel in Florida. It didn’t say it was due to Hurricane Ian.

Second, Las Vegas is a large city. The MEC did not tell us which venue they are using to hold our meeting. Third, I have already told my rep who the new EA will be, my rep refused the bet. Forth, there is NO Member at large time annotated on the agenda. I am not whining, I am pointing out the hypocrisy of the MEC. As for why they moved to LAs Vegas, that is irrelevant. it is everything after that which is the problem. So to rap it up. Does the MEC look forward to any member showing up and attending their meeting? Do they really want participation? How many pilots live within 100 miles of Las Vegas? How many were invited to attend our meeting? |

That's the thing you took away form this thread. Interesting.

no it’s not the only takeaway. Enjoy Vegas.

I wonder if Mr DePete will continue to sign stuff as Capt after he’s done? Not sure why he has been using Capt since he’s been retired for years… after stating he wouldn’t retire as ALPA president.
