Are you surprised that none of our strife was mentioned? Does not even come up on their radar. They just keep watching our leverage dwindle to a negative number.

Dave Webb video, how tone deaf is the MEC. He was a cancer on the crew force except his over 60 buds.

His buds are precisely the audience in that video. In essence, he is telling his buds to get on board already.

HvypurplePylot

LOL. His buds are long retired.

FXLAX

My comment was meant to be literal. It seems like the video is aimed at a certain audience.

JustInFacts

Ok, his buds are litterally retired. Maybe it was aimed at those who like to point fingers or claim that it was meant for a certain audience. I thought the message was to stand as one, yet you are still trying to divide.

Wasnt Webb at Helm when we got snoockered on A380 rates than right after signing we got word of 777? Seriously bad move on MEC.

FXLAX

Now you too taking someone else's use of the word bud literally? Like it or not, there are still those who are not on board. This seemed like an obvious tactic to simply try to persuade. Maybe it wasn't a good one? I don't know. But you are smart enough to know having that opinion is not divisive. And if you don't understand that, then I don't know what else to say anymore. But everything the mec has been saying is to try to unite as negotiations begin again.

JustInFacts

Look at your comment above. You said it was meant to be literal.


Instead of looking at the message as a way of pointing fingers, look at it as an attempt to unify. In the video, DW says to be engaged. We had a lot of people who were not engaged during TA1. There were statements such as, " the MEC/NC's job is to bring a TA and my job is to vote." This simply isn't true. Our job is to stay engaged with the MEC so that the NC knows what we want. DW also states that we should ask our reps questions. I can't count the number of pilots that I fly with that don't know who their rep is or what block and LEC they are in. DW also stated that when the company looks past the NC, they need to see a group of pilots that are unified behind a common goal. Now, when the company does this, do they seee individuals trying to classify pilots into different groups? Do they see pilots acting as individuals wearing their own lanyard because what the MEC asks doesn't make a difference or is silly? Do they see pilots acting on their own interests by picking up disputed pairings? Or do they see a unified crew force acting as one?

Dave Webb - "Nobody bid the 777 until they give us appropriate pay rates"

Also Dave Webb - bids the 777 immediately

I cannot believe that he's being foisted upon us again. Most of the MEC is too young to know better, but Jose and Tony certainly should.

And folks wonder why there are trust issues?

Theres a new Webb video??? I thought he was retired??
