Also, our MEC Chair is a total genius that wanted to can the SIG Chair (the one with almost 20 years of scheduling experience) and insert a complete lunatic (MEC Security, WTF?). Great timing, lets put an unqualified nut in place during the most important and consequential airline schedule change in the history of FedEx. This MEC is un-fing-hinged.

They look at the whole organization for stability. MEC Officers, NC, Block Reps and key committees.
There's always a long line of loudmouths, but never a long line of volunteers for union positions. Pretty easy to criticize when you don't have a clue.

SIG is infiltrated by companymen
First of all, the NMB is savvy enough to understand we have a Scheduling Chairman, even if the acronym SIG is unique to this property.

Kudos to the rest of the SIG/PSIT team for standing up!

I loved the sunrise sort. That was dope. Glad we "helped out" on that one and still find ourselves with a concessionary TA. Thanks SIG!
Our lives have not gotten better under this SIG. Of course they will all be incensed and say we are "ungrateful" or "if you know so much, you do it" because that's the standard response. News flash - everyone in this union is replacable. Including the SIG.
Didn't like getting punched in the face with ridiculous times to operate a plane? Get them more "data" guys. Then life will get better. Even a monkey would see these pairings are RIDICULOUS without having to fly them first to collect "data".
Can someone explain how the SIG seems to be a flow through for management positions? Coincidence? No.
Wake up everyone.

So, 6 months as a 757 FO, and 27.5 months as a 757 CAP and you are owed over $130,000 in retro. Isn't the 757 one of those airframes that has been bought up for well over a year? Yeah, your going to have to show your math on that one.

I seem to recall a time that the west coast was all 24 hour layovers. But we gave them relief didn't we? Did we make a gain for giving them relief? I love when the SIG chair makes calls without consulting the MEC on agreements with the company. Sweet move SIG.

The SIG did not create the sunrise sort.
The SIG does not build the pairings.

Not sure about all west coast layovers but our old 8 n 24 restriction (given up in 06 or 15)
used to keep 12 hr westcoast layovers to a minimum.
The FCH had WAY better work rules than we have now. But that was before we had a union that makes money off pay rates vs QOL.

Keeping west coast layovers of 12 hours to a minimum is way different than every west coast layover being at least 24 hours.
