Default PNCL Strike Authorization

From our MEC:


"Fellow Pilots…

Over the past 16 days your MEC has requested your support in providing authorization to us call for a legal suspension of service if that becomes the only remaining option to secure the updated working agreement that we so richly deserve.

I’m proud to announce that you have answered the call of your Union with virtually unanimous support for your leadership. The strike authorization ballot count totaled 99.39% of the votes in the affirmative with 87.45% of the pilots participating.

Your unwavering show of support for your Union will send a clear and deafeningly loud message to our management group that we have grown tired of waiting for them to do the right thing. Every day that passes our patience is tested, our ire is raised, and our resolve deepens.

Your MEC remains committed to reaching a consensual agreement with management but our patience will not last forever.

Fly safe and thank you again for your support."



I guess it's time to get those walking shoes out...

I think 87% participation and 99% yes is a resounding message to management in anybody's book.

87% participation is very solid. There are always a few who miss a vote, for whatever reason. There is no need to get hung up over it.

Good job PCL guys, and good luck.

I'm so proud of you guys! Many of us that left 9E will be watching this one closely, and I am still proud to tell my new coworkers that I came from this fine pilot group.

Good luck in ATL today! Was planning to attend but got "re-assigned", sound familiar??

This pilot group amazes me. Never have I seen such a large group of people committed to a cause. Let's show Uncle Phil that it's our turn!

Congrats to you 9E pilots. I hope that things in ATL go well today for you too and that your management starts to take you more seriously.
