Council 26 Mike Arcamuzi for Blk 11 Election

Well ... anyone that might have Dave Webb / Bob Chimenti "stink" on them won't get my vote. DW's positions were so different from mine that I sometimes wondered if he was getting money "under the table" from Management
Those guys clearly had an agenda to take care of THEMSELVES!*? They did

If anyone is helping the company, take a look at SS. Remember that it was the current SCP that released the SIG from work to go help sway the recall vote on the reps that openly opposed SS. Thereby keeping the Boy king in power. BM was heard to say SS was good for the company. Huh?
Dave Webb got every fired Captain their job back during the Jumpseat war.
SS and company rolled over on the HK4 and continued to negotiate two interim one year jokes of a hybrid TA and a flawed 767 LOA that is already full of holes.
I want some of what your smoking...I think it is good s$&t!
If you truly think this guys are great, good luck! We are so far in the hole from the start of negotiations I only hope we can keep what we got in 2006.
How much work have you done for your association? If you have done any serious work you would think otherwise.

Hey........all you Fdx Crewmembers out there, dredge your memory, do your homework. In particular you Guys and Gals in Blocks 3,6 and 11, do not be fooled, conned or mis-led. M. A. is/was Webbs right hand man. There is no new and improved. Its the same old Gig. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln in 1864..."Don't change horses in the middle of the stream".........THAT would truly be devisive.
I will add this about the "ARCO" debate. Mike has from the beginning worked endless hours on behalf of Fedex pilots. Yes he is associated with the Webb administration. I won't defend all that has been bannered about about Webb, other than to say that DW is a true unionist knowing all too well that "interest based bargaining" is the ultimate oxymoron.
For those of you not here since pre ALPA 1 and its replacement, FPA to be followed by ALPA 2 (the current); here is a quick history lesson. We have had alternating philosophy's at Fedex starting with "Fred with take care of us....", "We will lose the good will of the company if we unionize...." and any number of similar augments vs "We need a real contract negotiated by a real union".
At this juncture few would argue the need for a RLA sanctioned working agreement (pre union the crew force was pretty evenly divided on even the need for that), but now we have had back and forth, a "work with the company vs go head to head with the company" approach to negotiating with Fedex. Both have failed to conclude a contract with the company in a timely manner. Both advocates for their method of negotiating have had better luck bad mouthing the other camps methods than acutely proving there own in negoiation with Fedex.
So Back to Mike. Mike is old school. He is a true blue unionist, not some pansy apologist who holds his nose over the fact that other groups, be it truckers, teachers or clerks, dare to work under a union label. I don't even have to ask whether Mike is covering up his SEIU logo on his "Contract Now" lanyard, I know he isn't.
I'm not bad mouthing the current administration or how they are interfacing with the company, I'm just saying that ARCO is not Webb but is surely not cut from the same cloth as CC. Read what he has to say and vote for him based on what he saids he will do as an ALPA rep. You may not agree with everything he says but he will work 150% for the pilots of this airline. That I will take to the bank..

No responsibility?
Did SS negotiated the crappy LOA that was used to ensnare the HK4? If DW is so much better than SS and should have a second administration after being recalled I would expect the LOA he negotiated would be so tight the HK4 would never have had to deal with the housing issue. Not of interest to the him & his companions, they got theirs and some of "ours".
Who signed off on 90 day TDY to HK? Another example of how DW strong armed management during his term! So DW's negotiated agreement means the company doesn't have to worry about manning the HK 767 because the junior will pay the price one way or another.
