Anyone else ever been "deiced" in IAH. It's quite humorous and not quite legit. I will give you a hint. It involves two guys, one wearing a giant cowboy hat, a stair truck, and a couple of large rough pushbrooms from Home Depot. We couldn't find the holdover time for that in the books. Needless to say the plane didn't leave the gate.

Oh let us not forget the closure of the DTW domicile while in bargaining to remove the council 018 rep's who where not given council bypass by the MEC at the time to just close down the domicile, which they never did...

Eta: I would love to see profit sharing but not at the expense of any guaranteed compensation or work rules.

1. Pre Carlson no union sympathizers could get near the training dept. Now it's the norm. Everyone seems to be happy.
2. Wheel roll was always the way the contract was written ( actually moving under own power for flight). Nothing to do with doors closing. I miss it too but Carlson changed nothing.
3. I didn't appreciate the fuel squeeze but I just asked for more. If you're afraid to ask you shouldn't be PIC.
4. WARN act was given for worst case scenario. Flying moved South. DTW pilots populated the FLL base and voted in their candidate. That's the business.
It's ancient history. Why are we bringing it up?

In between those events, a recall was put on the agenda for the fall 109 meeting. This recall, requested by an ex CP, was defeated by the members of SPA 109 by the not insignificant margin of 100 to 13.
AFTER seeing this level of support, the SPA 109 reps took training dept jobs. You DTW people might have had disagreements with the FLL reps, but their constituents quote obviously did not.
OBTW, it's "reign" not "rein". A "rein" is used to control a horse.
And, I'm "joe average" pilot, why did I never run short on fuel?
OBTW #2. I turned down the training dept position. Look where that got me
Where's the love man?
