It could be that the trial lawyers have more clout with the Dems than ALPA....

Re-read the excerpt above from the ADEA. I think one could argue against ALPA with that as a basis. ALPA did come on board after the fact, but possibly too little, too late....

The threads that you APAAD guys are hanging your hats on are laughable.
Good luck with all of that.
Memorial Day. oops.
And the ALPA point man on Age 60: September 30th. Yeah, of this year. oops again.
These APAAD dudes really know what is going on.
Not.

No argument; they are on the same wavelength because there is agreement on the block issues. The same can not be said of the block 2 voter helping to elect the block 7 rep. Take age 60 or the loa any doubts that a survey of blocks 2 and 7 would differ sharply?

Albie,
I sure hope you win the block rep position. You obviously know that everything that you have posted has been read by most of the folks at the MEC. I don't think you will get a warm reception and it might be uncomfortable for you, but I think you know this already. Good for you dude...... Changes are in order there and I am glad we will have someone that will actually represent our interests, not hook up their buds. Good luck..... And, thanks for stepping up the plate!!!!

As FecAV8r said when he left flight management--when the worst thing that happens if you quit is you return to (IHMO) one of the coolest jobs in the world you ain't doing bad. I have no idea why some union guys haven't stepped down earlier...I guess its either a very cozy gig or they honestly feel like they are doing the very best for the crew force. I would have quit before I signed an LOA that allowed involuntary separations from family for 3 months (or more if one bid period included a 5 week bid month). That's such a huge departure from ANY work rules we have ever had here--and nobody batted an eye.

"There are numerous lawsuits in play at this time."
I just hope those of us under 55 still have the chance that they do to retire at 60 with a full pension. In the meantime I'll just continue to watch them all meet during hub turns, their 4th stripe covered in electrical tape, talking about when Age 60 will change and sharing techniques on how best to stir the coffee for the Capt and F/O. Different strokes indeed...

US: We want to retire at 60.
FDX: Your union and MEC chair said otherwise. Moving on...
US: Ok.

We need stability in our offices. At the same time, I've said publically we are WAY beyond stable now, and instead seem to have an elite professional cadre of union folks who do all they can to promote their own agendas, stifle outside input, and keep the doors closed as much as possible.
Stability means getting rid of ALPA and their national agenda which is diametrically opposed to the vast majority of FDX pilots! What good would it do for a motivated guy like Albief15 to go knock heads with ALPA national? And then, as Albief15 says, quit when he gets nowhere with ALPA? LOA, Age 60, Pay For Training, partying with our money...When is enough enough?

I'm with you on how crappy the LOA is. However, I, and the vast majority of FDX pilots are diametrically opposed to your idea of getting rid of ALPA.
Does that mean we should get rid of you?
Lets not try and reinvent the wheel, again. Lets just change the tires!!
