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.

The HAL MEC just signed ANOTHER LOA!

This one is clearly full of concessions too, I mean it’s making the company pay out our unused vacation a full month earlier than currently required by the PWA.

How dare they make the company pay me sooner, I’m so mad right now!

Im so confused where all the vitriol is coming from. Especially from people hired in the last couple years.

If I made it to a legacy 2 years after I started flying airplanes, and THEN made 717CA after 5 months on property, I too would be screaming MAD that I wasn’t yet a 330CA! I mean, I’m entitled to it!!!

No rainbows today, just rain. Get choke waterfalls though.

Agree, the AS briefing is done correctly, I watch it all the time in the JS.

AS gave us the game plan then the HA non-experienced managers got ahold of it and turned it into a nightmare! Can't wait to start doing AS briefing.

I've done tons of work in my past life, the difference is that MEC had integrity and the pilot group held them accountable.

Oh you mean the vacation that we were forced to cash out at pre-contract hourly rates? WOW, maybe that's why the contract passed at 65%.

Go MEC, you got us paid early, OMG that's truly amazing! LOL
