So what your saying is DW pushed for the Age 60 change against his members will, then pushed even harder for Retro which was even more against his members will, (both of which are largely responsible for guys possibly being furloughed and the need for this excess bid), and now is taking advantage of the excess bid caused by his pushing for the above changes to bid the 777 (which he has inside information on about what is being negotiated that we do not) and previously he advised us to be cautious bidding a plane with no pay rate or work rules yet? And you have a problem with this why? (Insert sarcasm smiley here) It's good to be the King I guess!!! Any bets on whether or not he retires at age 60? We all know he has his high 5 taken care of already!!
FDD,
Good summary of the situation, thanks for spelling it out in plain english for everyone ...

Just posing a question. What if DW (or any other union official for that matter) moved into an upper-level management position after his union term? How would you feel about your representation over the past few years? Think it doesn't happen? ...Where did PC come from?

For one thing, the name at the bottom of the FCIF would change. For another thing the.....no I guess that is about it.

And just so everyone out there knows who the heir apparents are...they are DM and WR. Time for new leadership. Write or call your MEC reps, and let them know you won't stand for any back room deals between DW,DM,WR and the MEC reps.

Well, on what should have been the final (before it's cancelled all together) our Union Pres is still thumbing his nose at us and bidding the 777. Even if he has inside information..... shame on him, he shouldn't sit on information that would sway the way his membership bids.
Has anyone talked to him about this? He's been here a long time surly someone is on speaking terms with him..........

I guess DM & WR won't be available at the weekly hub turn meeting to tell us what their vision is for the future of our union. Oh wait, DW can fill in!
Probably count out the following week too, since it's been a VERY long time since either has crossed that many time zones working. I'd recommend a layover in Fiji and Honolulu to ease the pain.

Does this DW move really surprise anybody? Come on, I mean, seriously folks! The National job didn't work out for him and he just shoved the old lady behind the fire extinguisher to push his way into the last life boat. Told her the train, er I mean life boat was about to leave the station, and dangit he knew what was best for her.
