Sooo...let me get this straight. During our last contract negotiations the (ha ha!...get THIS!) “anonymous”, non-management hosted or moderated” B*tch Board "magically" appears, an absolute encyclopedia galactica on how to subvert the contract, sow discontent and screw your fellow pilots by scurrying around like rats feasting on management’s scraps...and now VOILA!...here we are again…going into the next round of negotiations and once more we are assured that this “non-management” run super-secret Board of Champions is here to serve the pilot’s needs by “presenting the other side”.

Sounds legit to me!

shhh…trust us…sign right up…not even the moderators know who you are…

Riiiiight, sounds like a management run board. It's probably done by schedulers during their down time. It's just not possible that people would want to post about things like making money, and questioning the MEC's policies.

Lets be forced to identify ourselves to the world. That is the kind of magic I like.

Maybe it is. Or maybe it's run by that red faced 26% lanyard wearing whiner/screamer who used to blow his 400% super secret deals (while guys were on furlough) at Tequila Rocks. Or maybe it's run by someone in the union. GASP!!! Point is, whoever IS the moderator of that board knows who YOU are. I for one trust anonymous moderators and their motives implicitly, but not everyone might.

Yeah, the 29th for our bi-monthly payday newsletter. Which I actually like because it covers 4 or 5 items in 1 email, rather than many emails each covering one thing.

So I was curious and looked at all of the emails I have received from the MEC recently, im not even counting council 77 items...

29th-Payday emails
29th-NC Crewroom visit
28th-Scheduling update
28th-Red/Green update on black days now will be dropped.
26th-Reminder for NC FLL crewroom visit
19th-Safety newsletter
18th-NC crewroom visit
15th-Payday email

What do you feel we are missing in this 2 weeks span? Considering that each email usually consists of 4 or 5 specific issues?

Well obviously you are quite familiar with Tequila Rocks, as we all should be. That place is great! If I was on a 400% trip I would pull three out of there. If I was on straight pay there are better places.

I wouldn't know. Didn't see it. Maybe they were communicated telepathically and I had my receptors turned off......or more likely they were only sent to those who drink the cool-aid and believe everything the MEC says.

How safe is the ACY base? Any word on a base opening up near New York?

Sorry if this was covered in one of the 700+ pages.

Also how long could a new hire hold a line in ACY? Thanks

On a nicer note, it seems safe for now, no new bases planned, a new hire FO can hold any base except maybe LAS after the first month or two, and holding a line depends, but usually pretty fast. There is a lot of garbage in the last 700 pages, don't blame you for not seeing it.
