Negotiations will go on as scheduled, while HOPEFULLY in the background a new NC is being recruited and trained and will replace the TA1.0 NC at the APPROPRIATE time.

I haven’t read the bylaws, so I don’t know.

If the bylaws allow them to vote in their previous blocks, than it is time to fix the bylaws.

My biggest takeaway from this entire gong show from the hard sell of the poor TA to the recalls replacement and voting process of our MEC reps is the complete lack of support or direction from ALPA national leaving it all on the shoulders of FDX ALPA and the pilot group to figure out.
We should drop those blood sucking vampires like a rock. They do not represent our best interests and are just essentially an extension of the mediator we are working with. Play nice get a deal and continue paying us your dues dollars.

IPA has always been very impressive as a union. Teaming up with them makes logical sense.
