The crazy is extra strong in this thread! I wasn't here pre-strike but don't see how anyone can say this isn't the biggest cluster they've ever seen. While I don't agree in the exact terminology of the MEC email or that it isn't blatantly stating you will get premium pay for any out of schedule flying, I don't see what the hissy fits are about. It plainly states that you have the right to refuse anything outside of your "personal limits" with no chance of discipline. You guys need to put away the tin foil.

It sounds like they have gotten the unwanted attention of DC FAA and the BOD.

What is this clown actually doing? calling random people begging them to fly? or is he calling his friends handing out 200% vouchers?

My concern is our MEC chairman has no regard for the other members of our union leadership and their opinions. He seems to think the preceding 23 years of this airline has changed because he puts out a podcast and sings kumbaya with Bendo on conference calls. Somehow in his mind this will magically result in a great TA in 6 weeks. We need to keep our expectations in check

"Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

I think he "waived" the conflict of interest that causes.
