This relates directly to furloughs and the number of mainline jobs on the property. Perhaps our new FN LEC Reps can help put some horsepower behind changing this. I smell resolutions forthcoming.....
Maybe because ALPA is worthless and could care less.

ALPA is only as good as the pilots who volunteer.

Or the ones who participate in the democratic process of going to LEC meetings and writing and presenting resolutions.

I have seen numerous times where individual pilots with an issue and a solution can get a resolution passed and forced before the MEC and subsequently implemented that the MEC Reps might never taken up on their own.

They are bringing 4 MD-88's back from the desert but Delta is sending some 757's to the desert coming up on heavy maintenance checks and NWA is sending some 757's and A320's to storage also facing heavy maintenance checks.
Sailing,

You lose a little more credibility with every post. True, we are not pulling DC-9's out of the desert, but when you suggest that we are parking the DC-9's that are on property, that is false.

As per one of the chief DC-9 guys, and as indicated by our April and May '09 Awards, the DC-9's that we have are not being parked. In fact, the fleet is probably responsible for the only growth we have here on the NWA side. "200+ pilots for the DC-9 is what is needed." Words from his mouth to my ears.


New K Now

P.S. Any word from your bud who was denied the jumpseat on NWA 3 times in 6 months yet?

Yes. Best bet for getting it in front of the MEC is simultaneous resolutions from both FD and FN LEC's....

You mean "Lucky?" I think he was taken to the hospital, after his crutches "unexpectedly" collapsed for no reason, causing him to fall.

Or perhaps the answer is that the company is in compliance with the scope clause.
