FO’s do have a no fly list. I’m sure once he upgrades the reserve guys will have so much fun hearing about how one of our negotiators was getting paid 90 hours a month while negotiating a pretty heavy rewrite of our contract instead of getting 37.5 hrs on VEBA and sitting at home doing nothing. Hopefully it’s when he’s LA based on the 737 flying mostly with Alaska OGs

What I see is some one who is being factually correct, and others who don't like the fact that he is correct but being vocal about it. Gee, when else did that happen over the last 3 years? I'll have to think about that one. Unfortunately, the common fact about HI in general is "don't go against the collective group. Embrace the groupthink and socialist tendencies."

I have no idea if is right or not. I would think though that there would be an issue with being out on VEBA and doing committee work. I would bet you can’t do any work while on VEBA, but I really don’t know. Getting paid 90 hrs doesn’t seem unreasonable to me for a negotiator during that time period either.

So being "disabled" and getting paid thru VEBA, and doing ALPA work and therefore being in "active service", would appear to be mutually exclusive. If that is the correct interpretation then the negotiator would not have been able to negotiate while on VEBA. Anyone else who has actually read the appropriate sections of contract have a contrary interpretation? I am most definitely not an expert in that area, but that is what it seems to say on the paper.
If so, and if the MEC and negotiating comittee felt that the negotiator in question was indispensible to the ongoing process at the time, then keeping him on active status for that period was acceptable as far as I can tell.

The language you are using is very immature and reminiscent of something I experienced at NetJets circa 2015 (a management tool claiming to be a pilot on Twitter): https://kr.law/news/article-detail/f...amaging-pilots. If you are a management stooge, I would caution you that it did not end up well for the management guy at NetJets who was impersonating a unionized pilot...
