So how many of you are going to email Mike and Carol about the negotiations? I would encourage everyone to do so even though it will do no good. I will just so I will feel better for a second. I can't wait until I quit! This is just pure nonsense...
 
All of the waiting and waiting to hear about the reserve section being negotiated and THIS is what they bring us? Two hour call outs? Golden EGGS :rolleyes: ? Not paid for ALL of your time working? I know Mike combs these boards so I'll say it for all of those that won't email him.......
MIKE FLORES....YOU better get your @$$ back to the table with NOTHING and I mean NOTHING less than THREE count them THREE hour call outs MINIMUM. I want PAID for my time at work. I want MY SENIORITY and you are at that table for ME and every OTHER reserve. Hell your there to make sure a BLOCKHOLDER who could quite possibly find themselves back on reserve in this death trap of a job has protection. I will not accept nor vote YES for any of what was promoted thus far. On top of that...the ideas that the company wants "in exchange" will NEVER, EVER happen. I'd walk off the property before getting "tagged" for another trip. Get it together buddy and let your friends sitting at that table know this will NEVER FLY. :down: :rant:
 
Hey US F/As, you better pay close attention to the reserve system regardless of your seniority. If you vote in anything similar, below, or not much better than what we have now, get ready to enjoy it when we all quit!

The reserves quitting is not going to put a more senior person on reserve!!!!

The company will just hire new people.

The VERY senior could give two sh!ts what you or I do or have to go through.

We should all print out copies of the negotiations update for reserves and write EMBFAs little note on top in bright red ink and post it in the crew room and at the reserve OPR table. It wouldn't hurt to leave some copies in the galley compartments along with the People and US Weekly magazines. This goes for East and West flight attendants. Spread the word! Also, I better not hear any flight attendants who vote yes (gasp) or who don't vote at all (another gasp) for the contract open up their mouth and complain to me about how bad things are! Actually, if this is what we get, I better not hear of any reserve voting yes for this crap, period! If you do, I better not find out about it!
 
I know there is certainly some issues that will most likely NEVER be resolved between Terry and and Teddy but I feel that Terry being back in the office is EXTREMELY necessary. She should have never left but the reasons for her departure are well known. Terry is passionate about the union and the members it protects. She is knowledgeable when it comes to the contract and can read it forward and backward. Say what anyone must about Terry but her not being passionate and knowledgeable about the union/contract and the f/a's working under it isn't one of them. Terry along with Michael Elias and Rick Cangey and Linton would BLOW the doors off of the offices in Tempe. I'm sure it would make Mike Flores a little uneasy too. Me thinks this would be the beginning of the end for him. :up:

Travel,
I respect your opinion, and therefore I support what the group thinks. If most of you believe she can lead you especially in this current culture, than I surely would be a proponent.

It is important to trust your leadership above all. I do recall that she did sacrifice herself and her position last term which precipitated and new election. You have to give her a lot of credit. She must really love the group in PHL to do that and deserves much respect for that kind of integrity.

She is good people; no doubt. And her knowlege of how the dynamics and process operates is invaluable. If she runs as Pres, then ensure that Elias and Cagney are in the equation as officers. As this team when represent a wide spectrum of fa/s and they can help eachother meet the needs of the entire PHL f/a group as well as all f/as in all bases. The negotiations are continuous, and this puts PHL leadership in a great position if you are up to the challenge.
However you folks decide what is a good, winning ticket, just stick together and campaign together as " team candidate". I haven't seen this since PIT, and it was a wipe out election in 2001.

Wishing PHL f/as the very best, as you guys RULE...so take over...its your time.
 
Elias and Cagney hopefully are running for LECP and VP. Out of those 4, I would only ensure that Elias and Cagney were taking the first two seats. Graf won't get enough votes to beat McCork...she is just too senior for the PHL base to have as a President.

She should not be running for those first two seats...she knows better than that I hope. I've worked with Graf...she would be good for back up support but NOT a lead union position as Pres or VP.

PitBull I have to totally disagree with you on this one! In most of your post I would agree with you option. But Graf knows this contract like the back of her hand. She will be a fighter on day ONE! This Team of 4 (Graf, Elliase, Cangey & Linton) Will Help put trust in AFA once again.
I have to say if I need help with anything from Council 70 I would most definitely want Graf on my side.
PitBull you have your own personal issues with TG and that's something you need to deal with. You know for a fact that Graf is a fighter and of all people you should know PHL would benefit from having her at the helm. We need a strong council right now and this team will provide that!
Graf is a leader.

I think you maybe right.

I do remember the sacrifice she made last term. She resigned her seat to force a resignation of the LECP at the time.

That surely proved that Graf is a person you can trust and has enormous integrity and passion to do the right thing at all cost to herself, for her group. When that occured, I changed my opinion of Graf. She is a really good person.

That was an amazing event last year, took a lot of courage on her part to go to bat even battle the International to bring charges against the LECP. In the end she resigned to pull Laura out of office and create another election.

PHL did not vote. Hopefully, this time they will. Graf will need a ticket that supports all the different groups in PHL, from rsv, blockholder, International flyers, etc..

Whatever you decide...just run on a winable ticket!
 
Is this a joke???

I sent an e-mail to Mike Flores and this was the response that I got.... Bold done by me.

WOW this is AFA MEC at its best. Way to go Mike.
Now how can someone take his seriously when he acts like this? One word...RECALL! Step up LEC and start this action.
 
Soon enough he'll be gone. When the new folks take seat in the Local 70 Mike will be OUSTED. He'll have THE biggest base against him. Bye Bye......take your two hour call out with ya. :up:
 
Holy Smokes...Twicebaked was not kidding...
