Just spit balling, but it might be because he is a dedicate and competent Delta pilot that was asked if he would do the work and is willing to do the work. He must be highly regarded by the MEC, he got elected Merger Committee Chairman. The Boston Meeting Minutes indicate a unanimous vote.



Vote for Captain Richard Harwood for Chairman of the Merger Committee (19 Votes)

He was also confirmed by the MEC as Strategic Planning Chairman.

I know that some people find it no problem to usurp the pilot group's rights and responsibilities, but in fact it is the DELTA PILOTS who are tasked with judging any hypothetical agreement that is reached. And it's the DELTA PILOTS who elect the reps that would be responsible for delivering it.

Based on the last few weeks of APC, you would think we have system-wide reps election for local reps ongoing, and that a TA is available for "memory rat", but neither of those things is true.

The pilots decide, the pilots elect. Let's remember that.

Shiznit was (edited) not a rep during C2012

Not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying that FO's will no longer be able to bid to fly with LCA's in PBS, thus spreading the LCA trips more evenly throughout each category?

forgot to bid

all pay is at risk pay If the company is not profitable.

If the vote has turned to 11-8 in favor of these concessions then it means the MSP FO rep has gone to the majority. I was told by a MEC insider that the swing votes were ATL FO rep DN, the ATL training rep, one other I have forgotten and that the MSP FO rep was a possibility. Evidently at the previous MEC meeting he would not talk to the MSP Capt rep and was asking the ATL reps for "direction"

Before anyone goes off on me I have been and continue to support ALPA. I think we can still make a difference and I will be at the MSP LEC meeting on June 1. However if these concessions are true and we are sent a concessionary TA I will vote NO. If the TA fails memrat I will be willing to work to recall any rep in my LEC who votes for the concessions. If we reach a TA and it passes well than the majority will have spoken.
These are unprecedented times and we all need to be involved.

I am pro ALPA. However with some observation, I have noted that when one does not agree with the DALPA process or results; you are automatically label a conspiracist or non-serving red headed step-child.

It takes all kinds of people to run this process. My opinion is valid and I do not trust people so easily. Maybe you should step back too.

There ought to be a second survey after the initial openers are exchanged. You wouldn't have to disclose the openers, just fine tune the survey once the company's wishes are known.

Recall a rep. Great. That's like putting a band aid on a stage four cancer patient.

If what you wrote above happens you should head over to kinkos and make 1000 DPA cards to pass out. The difference between your idea and mine is: mine might actually change something.
