Ffd committee
 

What the hell does this committee do? It can't be much.

A lot more than you are doing. Go to the web site and see for your self Troll

Here are their bullet points:
enhancing job security;
fostering career progression;
ensuring pay, benefits, working conditions, and retirement packages that are commensurate with the responsibility and experience required of the profession; and
identifying and maximizing areas of common interest to all fee-for-departure carriers that enhance the value of ALPA regional pilots’ careers.

So in short, they do nothing. Job security isn't enhanced by them. Whipsaws and bankruptcies still exist. Career progression isn't enhanced from 10-15 years ago. In fact, it's worse than it was 15 years ago. Pay and benefits are worse after inflation than they used to be as well. Retirement packages? Hahaha. Common interests and enhancing value of all alpa regional pilots careers? That would be getting rid of regionals and taking flying back to mainline where it came from.

They send us emails, telling us to register for something that we won't be selected for anyways. So that's nice

This post in conjunction with your name made me laugh so hard.

Bravo.

So if they were doing what you say, then mesa would not have a TA out.

The republic MEC just did more then this committee. Just because they hold meetings talking about what they could do, doesn't mean that they did anything. Actions are louder then words, and their words are silent. Troll, hahaha, I was at comair for 7 yrs we accomplished more then this committee.

I find this interesting. I was able to sign up and do the UAL webinar. They did say "space was limited so don't delay." What event did you sign up for and not get selected? Not poking at you, just curious.

They don't give jobs away is for sure, but the webinars and pilot prep workshops are better than nothing at all. I have yet to be an ALPA rep or volunteer in any fashion - just a line pilot:).

I was actually pretty impressed with them... Until they shouted down our negotiating committee and MEC VC when they tried to start a conversation about how the PSA style deal that had just passed, were bad for the industry and there should be national policy against it.

Find any of our 3 guys that were there and ask them. Hell of a story.

I'm starting a new committee called "The consolidation of regional flying back to mainline".

Which would you rather join? The FFD committee who's goal (alpa) is to extend the life of regional airlines or this new one who's goal is to eliminate regional airlines altogether?
