Good video put out by the new chairmen. We've gotten more communications from these guys in the last 3 day, then we did from the old regime in the last 3 years.

The whole thing was just a bad dream. From the Poletti harassment to the 'focused negotiations'. Its over.

The tyrants have finally been taken to the townsquare and hung! The nightmare appears to be finally over- but one detail remains- I thought the whole point of this was to get rid of that Neg. Cmte that screwed us. Now I hear that that's not gonna happen?

How exactly has the Negotiating comm screwed you/us?

I hope its not because of the whole (150%) Why some of our guys are so hell bent on having the ability to work more/harder is beyond me. Focus on pay rates @ 72hrs, not having the ability to ***** your self out to make a comparable W2 to your peers..............

If you like your 18 hr four days, keep these negotiators.

If you like to fly a red eye turn on day three of a 6:00AM start four day, keep this team.

If you like flying for straight time, blame their masters.

If you want to move past the era of "we know what's best for you" finish the job and replace this team, and everyone associated with them.

The same people have been running the union for 16 years, it's time for a complete change.
Need I say more?

Well either way, if the Negotiating Comm remains intact and our new MEC Chairmen supports them, we all should too........

I thought they (JA, RP, TC and crew) were gonna clean the house, Not just the breezeway. That's why a lot of us backed their play- I'm starting to get that squishy feeling- AGAIN. We are going to need more than razzle dazzle videos and updates on VX at the NMB (most of us don't care about that crap)- We wanted to see results with a clean sweep.

I'm all for positive changes too. Let's just give the new (interim) chairman some time to get settled in and work with elected reps. Remember, they are the ones who set policy and the chairman acts on them. Those who want to see a NC change (me included) make sure your reps know. Let's be a little patient but keep the pressure on though.

I emailed my reps in support of this change and continued to encourage them to get some new people on the negotiating committee, I don't want another repeat of the 2010 concessionary contract. Hopefully we will finally get a contract that is at least parity with other airlines.
