Has the grievance been filed?

The first thing I'm buying (if I get a real flying job) is a big house with a '69 GT500 in the driveway. So I'll have that covered just in case I get furloughed after a year or two.

Part of me can understand where SD is coming from. He saw how DALPA rolled over and accepted the company mandate that pilots perform duties outside the PWA in the form of gate PAs.

We perform duties outside the PWA all the time, like helping with strollers or wheelchairs. The memo clearly disregards specific wording in the contract. Glad to see the union finally stepping up to hold the company's feet to the fire.

Wanna buy a 1970 Road Runner instead?

It's my dad's car. I'm not done with the website yet, though.

The company did not add helping with strollers and wheelchairs in the FOM like it did gate house PAs. We did those PAs before the mandate as well. My point is, show weakness and don't pushback on unilateral mandates like the gatehouse PA bulletin and it can add to the mindset that you can bully your pilot group.

"Stepping up" how? So far, I've seen nothing but words. I'm trying to get a handle on whether or not any action has been taken by DALPA.

We need a warm fuzzy that DALPA is actually doing something other than crafting not-quite-strongly-worded letters.

Make sure you're underwater on the car, that way you can tell people it would be financially irresponsible to get rid of it after a furlough.

Always think two steps ahead.
