Forwarded to me from the other forum:
I just received a call from xxxxx ... Senior ALPA Attny ... Legal Department
He told me he was calling in reference to post I put out on June 4th that said :Bohica .. Here are the numbers 8-6-3-3 ..includes PS"
I said ok ... What can I do for you?
He said ... Tell me who gave you that info.
I said ... Lets start over and let me take notes ... which I did.
I asked ... How did you get my info ... He said "passed on to him by MEC ...
I said who passed it on specifically ... He said a Rep.
I said what is his name ... He said I won't tell you that
I said which Rep ... He wouldn't tell me
So I thanked him for calling and hung up.
Can you believe this crap ... From the union I pay dues to ... And is suppose to represent me.
Unbelievable!!
Maybe if they spent half as much effort getting us a good contract as they do harrasing dues paying members .... WOW ...

Is this true? How in the world would someone get a doctors not for something from 3 years ago? Where did you read this?

I'm sure most of us have already contacted our LEC Reps. in the past 24 hours, since some of the T/A 'highlights' were released yesterday. And I'm also sure there was a lot more "VOTE NO" input than "VOTE YES" input.
Here's a real question:
If the LEC Reps are getting overwhelming "Vote NO" input, if they truly are our "Representatives", how should they vote?
What we've always seen here at DL South in past contracts (since we got Membership Ratification in 1996) was, our Reps have ALWAYS voted YES, even for the POS that was C1996, just so they could absolve themselves of any final responsibility. "Give it to the Membership, let them decide." has been the theory/excuse to pass a POS on to the Members.
At that point, it becomes circular logic, and it passes. What I hear from the line pilots is, "Well, it MUST be OK, why else would the MEC vote Yes for it?"
And the MEC will say, "Well, it must have been OK, 62% of the line pilots voted for it"
When in fact, it's just another low ball turd that nobody wants to hold on to, so they keep passing it around, trying to keep the smell off of themselves.

Concessions....Dr. Seuss
Would you take concessions here and there?
Would you take them anywhere?
I would not could not here or there.
I would not take them anywhere
Would you could you with Vaseline?
Or with a beer?
Plus Dramamine?
I would not could not with Vaseline.
Nor with a beer.
And Dramamine.
I do not like concessions, Mike, you see.
Go back to the table.
Until then, leave me be.

In doing so, by pulling trips out of the pot, you're actually affecting 100% of the FOs, not just the ones that target LCA trips.

It's the same way you vote for senators, and other political figures. You vote for the person to make judgement calls, you don't vote for how they vote. I'm not saying that's the best way to go about it, but that's how it's done.
