TA Ballot still open: Make your voice heard!
The MEC Ballot for UPA2022 is still open. Apparently, once they open a ballot, it cannot be closed unless they present ANOTHER TA to replace it.
That is highly unlikely. Don’t get complacent.
Make sure your voice is heard. Show Kirby that we, the rank and file pilots, the pilots who actually do the work, mean business.
It’s not over until the results come in.
VOTE.

We need to reject this steamer conventionally, so that our house cleaning can go forward. All of our representatives who have become institutionalized by ALPA office need to be booted!!! They need to go back to the line and learn how to fly again. They need to get an untriggered reassignment, extended into a day off, have their layover changed, have their layover switched from a long layover to a short because of delays, etc. Basically they need to have a dose of reality!!!

I expect a new TA in a week with an X% pay and full retro.
Don't fall for it. Inflation will eat that X% in no time and we'll be stuck with terrible scope and work rules. Suppose X is a total of 30%. 8% inflation eats that up in about 3.5 years. A dollar one year from now won't be a dollar today. No one knows what it will be. But a day off will always be a day and field standby will always be field standby. Let's not build pools on the beach ahead of the rising tide of inflation.

That’s just touching on the pay side of the equation. I realize you were making a larger point about not trading work rules for pay, which I agree with.

The reality of the past is in our favor for sizeable increases & reconciliation. Future forecasts as of now don’t support that in the long-term, though.

Like I said, I’m not claiming they can’t be wrong- just that it’s the forecast people are working from. No company is going to sign a long-term wage contract that carries 8% inflation into a period forecast to be at 3%.
