Could the managers sway the next contract vote, I mean it could pass by 51% instead of 54%. I assume they pay dues, they VOTE, right. If they go by DOH, I would be senior to Barr, so I could give a rats butt.
In the end we fly, go home, enjoy life. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Most of us in "lower" management believe very little of what we hear from "upper" management. In fact, many of us look to the IPA for a dose of reality. Hopefully, the IPA will approach us regarding integration onto the line sooner rather than later

Not sure what the benefits are for either side in fighting for or against this. It is what it is and it will be what it will be.

When we organized there were 7 supervisors actively dispatching out of I think 58. Since the NMB decides class and craft (not the company or their lawyers) they were all given the choice to stay management or take a seniority number. 7 out of 7 took seniority numbers. So it basically went like this: TWU-- "We'll take all of the the supervisors who are dispatching since they fall under class and craft." UPS-- "Uhhhh, okay."

Man, what a fight!!! It's not the least bit surprising UPS has the arrogance to think their lawyers can overturn the NMB's class & craft rulings along with legal precedence set at this airline and many many others.

Ed, that is hilarious.

Don't get me wrong. I now believe that flight qualified supervisors should have the right to vote for representation. I am just not sure how it will be accomplished.

From IPNN today 08-23-2007. I wonder why they would need addresses and other contact information????

{MANAGEMENT PILOT CONTACT INFORMATION}
The IPA is asking all crewmembers to provide the names, addresses,
phone numbers and any other pertinent contact information they
might have for all UPS flight-qualified Management Pilots. The
Association is updating the Management Pilot list to track both
management emergency flying and management proficiency flying.
A link will soon be available on the IPA website to log the contact
information.

I am curious as to why you have changed your mind?
