Indentured servitude??? I admire the thought.. but I think we would get really really weak "participants".

Went through the LM-2 for the last few hours slowplay. Compensation and expense reimbursement is listed for all the officers (title only), but I couldn't find any breakdown for "volunteers" and others based on the "individual" as you state above. What schedule of the LM-2 does that appear? For example, where on the LM-2 could I find out how much flight pay loss was paid to a member of the MEC's Strategic Planning Committee? Or Negotiating Committee? Or a DALPA volunteer that I know by name?

Translation: You're not really a union member if you're not ALPA. DPA support disqualifies you as someone who believes in unionism and as such, you're not entitled to PAC money from a "union" like ALPA if you decide to run for public office.

It certainly isn't the Detroit Pilots Association despite you MEC bureaucrats constantly calling it that. The majority of DPA members are now ATL. Imagine that!

What was the breakdown of that vote to kill the flight pay loss resolution slowplay? Where can we find out exactly how each LEC member voted in the process to follow or kill the fligth pay loss resolution?

I won't say their names because they've asked me not to. 2 current and 4 former LEC members (all known to me personally) have stated this is exactly what happens to anyone who tries to upset the MEC apple cart. You are lied to, "mushroomed" and isolated from key information. This is done so you look uninformed at LEC meetings in front of your constituents. But more importantly, it's an example to the other LEC members of "what will happen to you" if behave badly as defined by our top-down MEC. I would encourage anyone else with friends who are current and former LEC reps to ask them this very question. Hear it for yourself.

None of this behavior is illegal under labor law. Unfortunately, there's nothing against unprofessional and retaliatory behavior against members your own administration.

Does name calling actually work in your unelected MEC bureaucrat meetings slowplay?

I thought your ignore list was only for those LEC reps who don't agree with how you unelected bureaucrats wield power?

You're not paying homage to my word parsing. By editing your post, you're admitting that you did parse and spin...exactly like I said you did.

Read above.

If it were up to me, LEC reps would only get what ever the ALV is every month, and no $1,000 override for a lawn crew, every month.


Timbo,

You are aware that your "LEC REPS" do not receive any sort of override whatsoever correct? They do not get trip drops for any LEC business. Representing pilots in the CP office? Off days. LEC meetings? Off days. In the larger bases you have Reps that are going to the airport 16 days a month to fly and then 8 or 9 days a month doing representations etc. This work does not get done by magic. I am sure there will be a flood of candidates for the election next year to take advantage of this really good deal. I hope that anyone who is considering running whether it be DALPA or DPA, will follow a large base rep around for a month and see if it is really such a sweet deal that some make it out to be.... If you value your free time, don't do it.

"DALPA won't deliver on C2012--I better take cover and submit my application to management."

Good riddance. The only thing tiresome and redundant are your asinine, company-funded-talking-points, including "commuting is a choice" at Delta.

You are wrong. They do get ALPA trip drops. I agree they work hard and if you value free time don't do it, but they do get ALPA drops.

A few people on here try to refute a barrage of DPA half truths and lies and he's called asinine ? I like listening to both sides, I can make up my own mind. I don't believe all of what ALPA put's out but I really dislike the DPA supporters on here that attack anything that even sounds like it's pro ALPA with usually nothing but BS. If this group is representative of the DPA then they will never get my support or vote. I'm going to try and quit this addiction also,it's become very predictable and boring.

If DALPA produces a weak TA for this next contract, you may very well get out voted. No pressure DALPA, $35 million in dues each year is at stake!
