Just have an invitational golf tournament. Don't invite them. They'll show up anyway. Works every time!

Or ANC? I know the salmon are not running and the golf course has snow on it. It's a cold walk from the hotel to Club Paris for DW to get his steak dinner. Maybe just wait until this blows over and come on out in August, we will show you a great time!

Yes we should all vounteer and get involved rah rah. But the above in red is the problem with the union. If the rep is done he should resign and get the **** out of the way. The members of his block (and the rest of his LEC, unfortunately) will look for his replacement. Arrogant rat ba$tards.

Replace Block Reps - How about replacing the entire MEC! I have a magazine each month and a pocket calendar to show for the thousands of dollars of union dues! More Wilson polls with the outcome already determined before the poll begins. An MEC leader that will threaten a dues paying member with legal action (when the member is correct) concerning the FDA! More communications from union leadership bragging about how proactive they are - in reality they are reactionary in nature. A basic lack of trust in our union leadership. Replace block reps - let us start at the top!

You got a pocket calendar? I didn't get one! I want mine! Is it a FedEx MEC thing or do other carriers get pocket calendars?

Speaking of that Wilson Poll. How do those calls come through on the caller ID? I screen all my calls and wonder if I am missing the Wilson Center because the caller ID does not say Wilson Center. If I remember correct, the Wilson Polls for the last contract came through with a "Washington DC" ID. Does FDXBUCK=TR?

Some may call this "communication." Others of us call this propaganda. So far, it appears that the MEC is on a mission of self-aggrandizement. "Look at all we're doing for you." Yet, the MEC has still not addressed the core issues facing the pilot membership right now: optimizer, purity, FDA sweetening by the Co. outside of negotiations, Bid cancellation, etc. The MEC needs to gets serious about something besides trying to convince us that over 60 guys bidding the front seat at the earliest opportunity is the most important issue, and has been good for us all.

And what about the boldface lie concerning the "inevitability" of the Age 60 rule passing in one paragraph from our latest Magazine, then in the very next paragraph, an admission that ALPA changed its stance in opposition to the memberships' desires. An unbelievable admission of culpability couched in terms of "we saved you guys from yourselves." Pure Horse Manure!

Finally, if this Union takes my hard earned money and endorses in immoral candidate for President, like Hillary, then I too may have to cancel my membership on moral grounds. ALPA should not be in the business of endorsing political candidates, certainly not Presidential candidates whose job is far more important for the country than a particular stance on a particular labor issue!

Waiting patiently for something concrete out of this MEC and ALPA National while they continue to redistribute the wealth from the junior guys to the senior guys.

I have always gotten a 301 area code for the wilson polls. Since I have family in MD I always pick up.

FedEx, FPA started it! Awesome tool, too! Still waiting for mine, I guess I better call Mempho!

FDXBUCK

Made the mistake of not looking at area code or caller ID - should have looked first - will next time! Poll was determined before I had answered i.e. the way questions were presented!
