Don't forget that they also tried to train Amazon guys OEM, then do IOE with them on the pax side using non-OEM procedures before they received FAA approval for it... FAA said no way... so those newly trained OEM Amazon guys sat for 5 months at 90+ hrs training pay at 330 rates, then went through sim in MIA again, so they could sit and dequal over the winter because there is 1 plane and not enough flying for everyone yet.

Yet somehow freight guys make $15/hr less on the "B" scale because the Company deemed it necessary to turn a profit.

It all makes sense. HA is a West Coast based Company, common sense is never needed. Just good feelings

Should've seen it coming. Alaskan hates anything east. They have this obsession with things west. They hate anything that's good. Close NYC, axe the airbus,

Same MEC that sent a response to the JAL accident in HND, saying "Be extra careful!" That'll keep us safe lol. Someone please recall these idiots.

HAL Safety Chair puts out a memo to make sure we complete a "Threat Based Briefing". Too bad the JAL crew didn't complete a "Threat Based Briefing" because I'm sure it would include a possible Coast Guard DHC-8 on the runway. I understand he needs to justify his 60 hours of ALPA pay every month, on weekends, while doing nothing. Another pro-company union guy trying to land a position upstairs, again thank goodness they will all be gone soon. AS don't allow these crooks into your establishment, they are professional con artist.

I have been hearing "RECALL" since the 65% ratification vote, on my old property the RECALL would've happened the next day. HA Pilots need to wake up fast before this MEC hands us a bag full of "Malama".

All for Recall, In Unity...

TTail

Long time lurker who finally got around to registering an account on account (ha) of all the stupidity being posted these days. Might as well join in the fun right?

I'm frustrated with a lot of stuff going on here right now too. ALPA needs to do better on a lot of things. But when you've got guys who have been on property for less than 4 years crying about the Union guys not caring about their feelings enough and because of it screaming for recall... it's kind of funny.

I just checked because I was curious and his schedule isn't hidden. The safety chair has been on 36 hours of ALPA pay the past few months... with one or two weekend days. That's 5 or 6 days of work every month. Seems pretty normal to me for the head of safety... especially when you've got as many pilots screwing up as we do right now.

Oh boy, do I have some bad news for you on threat based briefings..

Yes, you are correct this month he is at 36 hours of ALPA pay, I was referencing snapshots that I was shown by the Captains who are tracking his pay. He has been averaging 5-6 days of ALPA pay ever since he took over the Safety Chair position. Yes, he has had months of 60 hours of ALPA pay which is tracked if you care to ask. Friend, I'm guessing you have been here longer than 10 years so I will ask you what did the previous Safety Chair take every month? I can tell you from my conversations with the "top tier" senior group on the 330, 0-3 hours a month of ALPA pay. Also, the previous chair never took any pay on a weekend, or Holidays, haven't verified but I completely trust my source.

Please tell me all the work our Safety Chair is doing. Haven't seen any safety comms on turbulence, airport ground ops, multiple MELs, inadequate weather radars, PPT/PPG augmented crews, SYD curfew tailwind takeoffs. Senior friend, do you think he's worth 36 hours a month? if you do, you are probably ok with our MEC Chair and our lead negotiator getting 90 hours a month since 2019. My guess is you are probably part of the con artist group making tons of money off of our ALPA budget. Enjoy it while it lasts and I hope you are in the top tier because when this is all over only the top tier will be ok.

You mean the HA debacle "Threat Based Briefings". Shucks another crew that forgot to reference the card. lol

That's funny. I started looking up the MEC's flica accounts, and all of them are blocked! These guys don't even pretend to care about transparency.

Send a DART! lol
