Default SOC power outage

The SOC power failure last night was an embarrassment. How a commercial enterprise data center such as our SOC was running without a fault-tolerant immediate failover power backup is beyond belief. Either management here is cheaper than we ever thought, or someone in IT screwed up big time.

Come to think of it, we probably haven't seen the depths of corporate cheapness .. yet.

Really? Because the Delta, Southwest, United and UPS power failures of late are any better?

Wake up Mesa pilot! Our MEC has only the interest of the senior pilot group to look out for. The younger pilot group is the majority. It's time we start the process of a "no confidence" and either replace our MEC or replace ALPA

Those weren't power issues were they more so computer glitches.

Would it be possible to move our ALPA offices to IAH to get rid of the lifers and get some young blood in? It is very clear most of our union leadership is hardcore Mesa-to-the-death and seeking a good check til they ride off into the sunset.

You can replace our union leadership all you want they would still have to deal with the same Mesa management. Can we replace them with someone else that actually wants to provide us with a good contract?

Offices are in phx because that's where corporate is. There's no requirement you live in Phoenix. We've had plenty of chair and vice chairs who don't live in Phoenix. All it takes is people willing to serve. Which people aren't willing to do.

That's just it, I think a lot of the MEC positions are run for unopposed. Didn't AH take over because no one else wanted it?

That's what they want you to think. When BR resigned there was AH as interim. I never saw it a vote situation. And the rest of the MEC only votes for the officers not the pilot group.
