You sure about that? I thought it went back to your fellow pilots. I might be wrong though.

Had to look it up again. Actually, it goes back to the trust that controls the money. Technically not the company, but it still remains a use or lose asset that isn’t controlled by the pilot or inherited after pilot and spouse passing, which is a significant drawback.

What we really need is a tentative plan that has yet to be approved by the IRS. Any TA with that included has to be good.😁

Is there any way to find out some info on the reps running for office (C5 in particular)? I haven't seen a single campaign message, which seems weird.

sooo you voted for recall with not knowing who is going to replace them? Hmmm smart good luck with that

How exactly would a pilot 'know' who is going to win an election? Too funny.

Yes. That’s how that works.

I was asking this question over the summer, and my conclusion is that this reaction to TA1 is all anger - no plan forward.

The anger crowd seems to believe that remove and replace will fix everything. And apparently, if you question the process or ask just who will replace this failed MEC, you get labeled as a “TA1 lover”. Are we in grade school?

A once strong union has found the lowest common denominator, it seems - mob rules, zero context, and entitlement. Enjoy the 5%, I predict that all we’ll see for a while.

As for reps on deck, buyer beware and check the credentials carefully. That is if they have the respect for the pilots to publicly announce their willingness to serve.
