I figure this probably isn't possible but it's frustrating that there are people like this in the world. We don't always have to agree but everyone in a professional setting needs to be treated with respect even if mistakes have been made and consequences must be handed down. Intimidation has no place.
He was hired the same time as our "International Chief Pilot," 2 years ago. Im ok they are on the seniority list because they are paying a management dues rate. So they, as management, are paying into the union every paycheck. Management having to pay dues does have a ironic justice to it.

Where did said chief of whatever fleet come from? What's his background? He's not a friend to us, that's for certain!

If memory serves my correct from 2 years ago it was some shiit bag cargo operation down in MIA. They change names daily so it's hard to keep track of which one. I could be confusing the background with the Intl Cheif that got hired at the same time. Haven't heard any issues with her. I'm not sure what a fleet Cheif pilot does other than be management's "muscle" so they can maintain arms length.

If anyone has yet to notice, this airline isn't playing nice with the pilots. They haven't been for a long time but now are starting to show their colors more true. This is all by design and JB is the architect. A big part of bringing him in was to handle us and the FAs. Once our contract is settled my guess is he will move on.

We need to stay focused, stop the infighting and unify around our negotiating committee until they give us reason not to. The petitions and the dfw LEC stuff needs to take a back seat IMO. It's distracting us from the true problem which is management denying us our contract for no reason other than they can. They are starting to get hostile because it's their only option besides paying and they don't want to pay.

No need to worry guys and gals. I've got a petition going against Gary McMillan. Audi2000 is involved along with the DFW tinfoil hat club. So basically it's a done deal.

Ha! Thank gawd! Is that petition next to the MH for 109 CA rep petition?

You're thinking Valerie. She came from Centurion/Sky Lease.

Gary came from Airbus.

Management dues rate = 0%

Why wouldn't they be classified as at least Executive Inactive?

They are well aware of what this group expects, let them do their job without our interference.

If a TA comes out and it's pure garbage, then we can discuss alternatives.
How about we prevent a garbage TA from coming out and setting us back an additional 12-18 months? Let's see the ask and judge this group of nine and the work they've been doing! Hopefully not before too long it'll be a group of eleven.
