SPA union doesn’t care about seniority
 

Some of you are aware that in DFW junior Check Airmen and Check Airmen in general are allowed to “Cherry Pick” their trips. I’m sure it’s going on at all other bases

For September 33 out 39 turns were assigned to Check Airmen.

Yesterday’s “secret” ALPA meeting basically concluded that our MEC CHAIRMAN S.M. doesnt see anything wrong with what’s going on.

This is exactly why ALPA members being in the training department is a bad idea. Asking our MEC to fix this is like asking them to “Shoot themselves in the foot” so to speak.

Why would any ALPA member do that?? Let along fix the corruption.

Anybody else ready for a change with our SPIRIT ALPA reps??

This has been going on for sometime now. Guys tell the training department schedulers they want day turns only. They get what they ask for every month. I know for a fact FLL is doing this today. Training is pulling all the day turns for training purposes. :confused:

Always DFW......and no....

By Contract they are only allowed to request days off, a violation that OUR MEC CHAIR doesn’t care about!!

I saw the check airmen schedules for September and yes all have turns except one commuter

CA Rep in 77 is fighting this hard and has been taking arrows from many in the MEC over this, but he doesn’t care. He knows is not right and is speaking out.

The entire balance is all screwed up with Check Airman cherry picking trips while having 2 of their own, instructors, serving as status reps for other councils.

Stuart loves this because he is able to consolidate power by having his support in multiple positions. Why else is the check airman group CA rep also the MEC vice chair. Reminds me of having our MEC Chair also serve on the NC. Wait....that happened.

I’ll be flying in to the 77 meeting next week to support the motion for recall of the FO Rep, because he didn’t have the ethics to do so.

Time to change the direction of this rudderless MEC.

I agree the LEC 77 CA REP is fighting hard to change it

Filler

If that is true that check airmen are only allowed to ask for days off and not specific pairings then I am filing a NCC for not getting thoses turns and everyone else should too!

I am going to come up with a cool Rebel tag we can all put on our bags to show our support for this.
