Don't know if it's been mentioned already, but I just checked a few minutes ago, all the F/O lines are up, except for the ATL 737 and 88's, and you don't even have to -back door- it to see them...not that there's anything wrong with using the back door.

Happy Hunting!

That's typically the way it goes. There's always a couple gems somewhere in all the overweight nerdy guys that aren't so good at talking to girls.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Guys like that are embarrassing.

In the interest of accuaracy, I wanted to re-post this exchange from a few weeks ago due to what was just published by the MEC:

...But if we all hound the living daylights out of our reps, it might give them the spine they need to not ratify the TA.

Here is a paragraph from the MEC's latest "Touch and Go":

If the committee eventually reaches an overall tentative agreement with Delta management, it will be presented to the MEC for deliberation and a ratification vote. If ratified by the MEC, it will then be presented to the Delta pilots for membership ratification.

Carl,

Again, you don't know how this works. The voting members of the MEC are made up of the Captain and First O reps of each LEC. That means that the Captain rep for the LEC for DTW is the voting member of the MEC. They are the VOTING members of the MEC.

One more time. The MEC chairman, vice chair, sec-treas, negotiating chair do not get votes. The LEC reps, from each domicile, the guys you vote for, who answer your calls and e-mails, and represent you in the chief Pilot's office when you're in trouble, who make up the VOTING members of the MEC, vote as to whether or not to put a TA out for a vote.

Are the Chairman and Vice Chairman of each LEC part of the MEC?

You betcha. The voting members. No one else has a vote, unless there are more than two members of an LEC.

What is your agenda here? Some nebulous conspiracy of a nameless, faceless MEC who wants to screw us for some benefit to themselves?

Why do you keep trying to sell your DPA crap over here? It was just starting to get fun again.

Sorry 80 and FTB, all you other guys. You make this a really entertaining diversion. I shouldn't even bother reading this any more, it's lost it's enjoyment.

Excellent. Now what about my post below was wrong regarding my use of the word ratify?
