Many agenda items, but the top one is recalling the NC Chairman and the Negotiating Committee. These block reps only priority seems to be removing the NC Chair at all costs. They simply won’t accept what the majority has decided and it’s nothing but politics at this point.
They are not representing the pilots best interests - straight from the MEC chairman’s message.
I hope all those block reps get slammed with 100’s of emails expressing dismay at what they are trying to pull off.
Yes, the minority, those who call themselves the silent majority, are hell bent on burning the house down instead of allowing the transition of power shift to the newly elected reps. They would rather see this place burn then let the new crowd run the show and secure a contract that's good for everyone instead of just the company and one small demographic of the pilot group.
The majority voted no on the TA.
The majority voted to recall their reps.
The majority voted for new reps who promised to replace the NC.
The MEC chair is doing the whole "we know you want new NC, but we know better than you" thing that the old MEC was doing. If he keeps priotizing maintaining the NMB schedule over gettig our own ducks in a row, we will suffer even longer. The NMB would not mind one bit if we said "Dear NMB, we need to postpone a few meetings. We are reorganizing our NC at the wishes of the pilot group that rejected our recent TA. We will reach out shortly to coordinate a new schedule." Their response would be something like "No worries FedEx ALPA, we understand. It is normal to replace an NC after a failed TA, and we understand that getting to that point can take time due to ALPA bylaws. When should we expect to hear from you?"
