The decision (either way) to deice that he (and others) made isn't the job action.
Please. I could equally shame someone from taking too much vacation. Is that an illegal job action?

And I’m certainly not shaming anyone. Just providing examples and situations of not following the MEC guidance.

As long as Southerner is a dues paying member, it's his choice whether to wear a lanyard. I don't agree with his decision, but all of the attacks against him on here have clearly not made him any more likely to wear a lanyard.

I want Southerner to choose to wear a lanyard on his own volition because he wants to publicly support his union and its volunteers, not out of fear of being hounded on the internet.
You can tell who I am too. Every time I see a non lanyard wearing JB pilot. I head straight to the nearest wall and begin a repetitive head striking motion against the hard surface until my confusion has been erased.

Sent you a PM.

Fellow Pilots,

ALPA National legal counsel has requested that the JBU MEC post this message for those of you on this forum suggesting or advocating that pilots not pick up open time, take other operational steps, or pressure others to do the same: STOP.

Your messages are very ill advised and harm rather than help your negotiating committee. Efforts such as these are counterproductive to secure the fair agreement we all deserve. Your MEC does not support them.

If you are found in violation of the Railway Labor Act by supporting, inciting, or participating in a concerted effort to disrupt JetBlue Airways, you could put your union and fellow pilots’ bargaining strategy in jeopardy. You may potentially be held personally and professionally liable for your actions on this forum. You could also subject yourself to discipline or discharge. Do not think that your online anonymity is guaranteed.

We do not want you to jeopardize our collective interests or your career on the false premise that adding pressure to the company by resorting to illegal activity will result in a favorable outcome.

Lastly, other then this post, the MEC will not be using this forum as a form of communications.

Fraternally,

JBU MEC VC.
