Absolutely. For everyone that says the union doesn't do enough, YOU are the union. YOU should be taking a stand every time the company tries to circumvent the contract. Calling the union should be the next step after you've fought the good fight. Too many think that posting on the union web board (instead of actually calling/emailing a Steward) will magically get things fixed. Nope. To win this fight, we all have to do our part.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!!

I'm a P2P guy who tries to know the CBA cold and, since I wear the IBT P2P lanyard, tries to set a good example. While I'm certainly no expert, I'm really appalled at the lack of CBA knowledge of guys who've been here years longer than I have.
Worse yet, we have plenty of guys who know the CBA, but make side deals anyway. Helps nobody.

If we allow ANY 3/4 digit ID numbers (original Atlas) on the next EXCO it will lead to the same road of mediocrity this place has been on for 20 years. The original Polar pilots + those hired in the last 5 years represent a controlling voting body. If we do not stand up and use it we will end up with the same (super senior, check airman) self serving ideology that exist now. How would you feel about 24+ year pay scales? Just another way to trow all the money to the top of the list. The conversation is already happening in those circles.
As for the upcoming political season, the EXCO voting, the present one is already trying to drive the campaigning to not start until as late and as close to the vote as possible. I think this one is going to get ugly.

FOs are the majority of the seniority list. Why not elect one as ExCo chairman? I sure hope some run.
