So the company is about to give an award to a LAS FO (JL), that was expelled from ALPA for non payment of dues! The other Pilot that shares this dubious status of delinquency is the CP of DFW. Obviously, the DFW CP hasn't been expelled yet, partly because JA (everyone's favorite former MEC Chair) worked out a payment program for him. Unfortunately, he's now delinquent on that also!!!

In other news, the Environmental Committee Chair is the other recipient of an award from the company - something that he's very happy about and has no intention of declining!

Before you attack, these are factual assertions, not opinions or rumors!

 

Pretend for a moment that the rest of us have no idea what you're talking about and explain a bit more.

 

The company is having a circle jerk party to hand out awards....like
"The best hair cut from a 1990s Indigo Girls concert goes to...JS"

One award for something like "Pilot of the year" is going to ET, our Environmental Standards Committee Chairman. I would argue he is the main reason why the company has/is doing anything about our fume events. His work is much appreciated. People were wondering if he would accept the award or refuse to attend. I guess he is attending and accepting. If it were me, I would not attend, out of solidarity I could not attend a circle jerk company event. Its his decision and in no way does it change how I feel about the work he has done on behalf of the pilot group.


Now....TS, the DFW CP never paid ALPA dues at Eagle. And I heard he was on a payment plan with ALPA. If he has stopped making payments, he needs to be expelled off the seniority list. Pretty simple it seems like

 

Maybe he's thinks "Pilot of the year" will help on his resume so he can leave.

 

Im shocked the pilot of the year award didn't go to the Eastern scab we hired from Miami Air, who needed double the amount of IOE that would get any other person fired from training.

 

I believe they are handing out two 'pilot of the year' awards.

 

He strongly considered not going, but in the end elected to attend simply because the award bolsters his credibility as he works with other airlines on this whole fume mitigation project.

But he absolutely cannot stand the idea of a non-dues paying <*redacted to keep mods happy*> also receiving the award.

As far as leaving for greener pastures, ET is here for life. Until the Legacies drop the degree requirement, he's not going anywhere.

If there is ANY one pilot here that deserves this award, it's certainly him. He's done a lot behind the scenes that 99% of the group won't hear about.

Hell, we still have Captains here who think this whole "fume event" thing is all made-up hogwash; one even told me, and I quote, "It's not fumes! It's just a little oil getting into the packs!"

Congrats ET.

 

Also, the SCAB has applied for an instructor position... The bottom keeps getting deeper here!

I'm not ET, but I wouldn't accept the award either. Being in the same room with these criminals is not kosher.

 

Wait, what?!

 

I'm the first officer receiving this award.
please fact check a little before making possible damaging comments fellow airmen.
First: I'm receiving an award for playing my ukulele for pax during a gate delay. We should always take care of our pax. This has nothing to do with company or union issues.
Second: the dues I owe amount to $60 and are from a previous airline. The situation is a misunderstanding and is being rectified. I have paid 100% of my spirit union dues!
So again fact check before you start your rants boys.
