ALPA waived American Eagle's Section 1 (pretty much all of it) for a flow through to no where. The deal was signed by the contract compliance chair, not the MEC Chair and despite the major change, no membership ratification.

The idea that an MEC administration can make material changes to a contract without MEMRAT keeps me up at night.

Those of you who think "who cares about Eagle" don't understand pattern bargaining. Think to when you first heard about a "76 seat scope grievance settlement" and how much pilot input there was on that deal.

Does that sound right?

Reserves do not have rotation guarantee.

Hey I tried to put up a resolution that would change the policy manual, but the guy in the room did not like it.

Most in the room felt that the reps should be given the latitude to do what they do, which is represent us. If you do not like that, there is a LEC44 meeting on Aug 8th.

Depends, if your last duty period was a dead head leg, it was not a "duty period" per our contract. As a reserve, no we do not enjoy a rotation guarantee.

I like your resolution, but, it should not be necessary. Current policy requires MEMRAT. Folks just aren't following it. Of course, they are exposing ALPA to DFR claims, but they seem not to care.

Which is exactly why the DPA is gaining more and more support by the day. The DPA doesn't really even have to promote itself, the entrenched ALPA types do the best job of it all on their own... all while being too oblivious and drowning in kool-aid to understand why.

DALPA is on thin, thin ice. National is already wet.
