Those frustrated 50 (The uneducated crowd) just might shed some light on the inadequacies of this TA. Maybe give a few something to think about.

 

Does anyone know if a video recording of the roadshow is going to be posted on Vimeo or YouTube?

 

Not sure on that, but when I clicked the emailed Teams link to the HOU one after it was over, it let me watch a recording of it, with rewind/fast-forward.

 

those 50 will always look for ways to be unhappy.. whether it’s a TA or life in general.

 

Another management shill. Boy there have been a lot of those new accounts in 2023.

 

The presentation part of the roadshow was a waste of time. There should be required reading for anyone who attends or watches these things. The Q and A is where it's at, but that was sadly a little lacking and they definitely didn't get to online questions as I know a few people who submitted them and didn't get answered. This is, however, the first one, so hopefully it will get better as time goes on. I plan on watching the q and a tonight.
The guy who asked the first question was a complete moron. He asked the same stupid question 4 times before being politely asked to sit down and then asked yet another question. Do we not pre screen these dolts? His question was essentially bragging about how much money he made last year and then insinuating that SWAPA was somehow ruining his good thing with LCO and other overrides. Nice job, idiot.
A few of the questions were good, but there were also technical issues that made hearing them tough. The medical freedoms guy had to get his shots in (again, pun intended), but I don't really feel like he made a valid point. He is the dog who caught the car at this point and it's getting old. SWAPA and he both agree that federal title trumps anything and everything else and that none of this has been tested and won't be until the next pandemic, which hopefully will not happen in our lifetimes. The disability questions were great, I thought.
I do agree the NC was overall maybe a little defensive, but this is their baby so I get it. I am glad people are asking tough questions and I hope they keep asking them. The clearer the air the better.

 

There were more than 50.

All the seats filled up and more chairs had to be brought in to accomodate the crowd.

Vast majority of people were happy. Even the ones who asked the tough questions were pleasant about and joked around with Jody and the NC.

He isn't completely wrong. There is a subset of pilots who can't wait to tell everyone how they voted no for the next 7-8 years. It's like part of their DNA.

 

SWAPA said yes.

However, the audio visual crew apparently has brand new equipment, is traveling every day with the roadshow, and is trying to learn the gear and upload from the road.

Might want to hedge your bets and plan on attending until they get the bugs worked out.

I'm sorry, but federal titles don't trump what is in an agreed upon contract that lives under the RLA. Ask the guys suing United, Hawaiian and Kalitta all with the same attorney, how hard it was to get the courts to see this was not an RLA regulated issue over a title 7 EEOC violation.

How do you think this company gets away with forcing you to work overtime on days off witch it is clearly a violation of Federal laws... its agreed to in a CBA under the RLA.
