One rep flew 50 hours on a NB fleet in the last year, as a very junior captain line holder. That same rep was fired from the scheduling committee for FPL abuse. Choo choo.
I agree that our organization refuses to modernize. Modernization would encourage more participation. The current reps don't REALLY want more partipation. They don't want group dialogue. They want you to call them and speak to them only so they can tell you exactly what to think. Any pushback is met with attitude and contempt.
As for volunteers, I know some committees allow 50% WFH. That's great. I support that. The vast majority of ALPA positions, could be 100% WFH. Instead, you're right, it excludes 2/3 of our airline from participating in the union. And we waste an INCREDIBLE amount of money on stays at the Renaissance in ATL. And meals. Want to audit FPL and expense reports? You MUST fly into base or ATL where the records are kept. You may look at them ONLY. You may not record any data from the reports.

There really isn’t one. You won’t be out of place looking like you jumpseated in, and some will be in jeans and a polo/tshirt. Maybe a couple in uniform before reporting for a rotation.
Recall meetings are typically well attended (the last one had 400ish, as I recall), so you’ll blend in as long as you don’t stick out.

Do how is this going to work with the IT outage?
Specifically, pilots flying in for the recall and many holding proxies. Even if the ground stop is lifted by time the meeting starts, there could still be a ton of canceled flights and/or delays.
If c44 starts this recall at 1100, gotta think it will be protested if they are not recalled.
