i have had several guys ask how the picket event went and whats the latest with the contract, so i will just put the info in a central place, sans the regular "why i hate pinnacle banter".

May Picket event:

Contract update:

Looks like the pilot group has turned the table on management and we have given them our "Last, Best, and FINAL Offer".

Your Negotiating Committee has been at work preparing a comprehensive contract proposal in the hope of finally reaching a contract with management. This proposal was submitted on Friday, April 25th. The negotiating committee believes the proposal to be fair and to accurately reflect the work done by our pilots. With the mediator’s approval, the proposal has been sent to management and your Negotiating Committee is eagerly awaiting a response.

As of this publication, there have not been any further negotiations sessions scheduled by the mediator.



so that is the latest and greatest. the picket event was a big success and the Memphis PD did a great job in helping us carry it out, even as management tried to stop us! ahahaha. Hang in there guys and gals, planes without pilots dont fly, and planes thatd dont fly stay on the ground, and planes on the ground make no money. They need us MORE than we need them. stay strong.

 

Here is a video posted on our message board that was also sent out in the last ALPA Fast Read:
