What Items do you want improved or changed in our current PWA?

We may have more than just the FT/DT LOA to improve our PWA across multiple sections, and now is the time to start forward looking on what items we want to pinpoint and then discuss.
No more FPL for people who aren't on the MEC, selling the future TA's.

Please,

It doesn't matter what we want. It's all about what ALPA thinks we need. They will do the thinking for us and they'll do a great job selling it to us.

The last paragraph was mostly t-i-c. Like T said "I'm bored" and thought I'd tee this one up. I will say, I won't waste time filling out a survey and while I enjoyed the generally good debate (lawn chair excluded), we are a small yet vocal group who take the time to research and discuss. The vast majority (62% I think) just want to fly their trips, go home and hope when they retire the CPO says "WHO?".

If now...any suggestions on a good place to go look at them in the NYC area?

Thanx.

I've got about 4 pairs of them, 2 for me, 2 for wife/daughter. I bought them all at WalMart for half the price they wanted in the ATL A concourse store, but that was about 6+ years ago, I'm still wearing two of those pairs, one I keep in my Bombay bag for work, the other I wear daily when at home. Oh, and when my wife broke her first pair, Walmart exchanged it, for free.

I think I paid about $50 at Walmart, vs. over $100 at the pilot store. Again, this was 6+ years ago, not sure what they cost now, or if Walmart still has them.

I do like them for both driving and flying. I have much darker sunglasses I wear when sailing and bike riding.

Bill Lumberg? Is that you?

As we go through the latest thrash about growth and contracts, could we all remember one thing? If Delta merges with another airline, their planes and pilots don't become Delta pilots until something happens. What is it?

A joint contract.

Don't make the mistake of trying to plug a merger into the current contract. There will have to be a new one.

Thrash away.

Yeah, that's worked so well at APA...

Can you show me a business model where the owners (members) elect the CEO, the management team and the governance structure (MEC Chair, Committee Chair, LEC reps)?
