interesting, I'd like to hear more about the vote.

btw, Apple closed above $300, 7 years ago it was $20/share.

Many many rounds of voting. Rice dropped out, It was down to three and Lee won in the last round.

I am glad to see new blood at National. There is lots of work to do.
I will be curious to see what the committee reports bring back. (Like compensation)

It will be interesting to see how we move going forward. I suspect the message will change drastically.

It's a good thing Lee had no plans in running for ALPA prez.

I agree. While I'm glad to be rid of him at DALPA, I'm not encouraged that any solution to the conflict of interest at ALPA is going to be forthcoming.

I agree 100%. He brought that conflict of interest in-house to buy votes. I expect more of the same and worse now that he serves two masters. No reason to expect that duck to start mooing.

Well, the die is cast. I just hope that he takes Kingsley and Cannoll with him. Afterall, they hitched their stars to his wagon. Now is the time for them to reap the rewards.

We should apply for LAX-PVG flights and see how long it will take the DOT to DISAPPROVE our request

OK. The man who wrote a lengthy campaign letter and NEVER ONCE MENTIONED SCOPE has just been elected as ALPA's new President.

To the crowd who want to reform ALPA from within...any new thoughts on the subject? Or are we sticking with the vision?

The proposed rules allow 9 hour legs for a "local" base departure between 0500 and 1959 with a 10 hour leg from 0700 to 1259.

Some one please correct me if I'm reading the proposed rules wrong.The following is from the NPRM:



The FAA proposes to permit a carrier to adjust where the flightcrew member
enters the FDP as an acclimated crew member if the individual has been in a new theater
of operations for 72 hours or has been given at least 36 consecutive hours free from duty.

Denny



Edit: You could fly a 9 hour leg over and 10 hour leg back.
Denny, I reread the proposal and I believe you are correct. Ouch ! Legal and safe are 2 different avenues here.
