It's a waste of time and valuable negotiating capital, only supported by a vocal handful.
Initial open time is a fair opportunity to exercise one's seniority.
Let's all vote it down, and start focusing on real issues.
Contract negotiations are upon us.
I am hearing some negative chatter lately about looooong drawwwn talks, dragged by management.
Anyone has a good take on this?
What is management's motivation in delay tactics?
They enjoy the benefits of a seriously underpaid labor force, but at the risk of rising comps, when new industry contracts bring the averages up.
I expect their optimum timing to be somewhere before these occur.

What is going on with the scheduling wait times? Tough to run things efficiently when waiting 30+ minutes to talk to a scheduler.

I'm using council bypass. Its an ALPA procedure allotted to airlines with rapid growth or contraction and is intended to retain the status reps so that every 3 months (just throwing that nimber out there) you don't have to go through another election and get another person up to speed, which would constantly be undermining the ability of that position to be represented. So as far as the airline I am a DFW CA. But as far as the union I am a 109 member.
I hope that helps. Lets chat more on the new spiritpilotboard.

Probably will be the last time I post on here by the way. I'm on SPB now.

This place has been in meltdown mode for weeks now. I suspect we'll be posting some of the worst performance numbers we've seen in a while; but as long as load factor is good none of it really seems to matter. 70 airframes seems to be about the tipping point where chronic underfunding of essential infrastructure starts to really lead to performance meltdowns.

I'll explain it for those who don't know anything about it. So some of this is not for you.
