No, he doesn't have to wait for his agenda item to pass in October. That is a lousy excuse. He presented it last year and it was slammed down NO at the BOD.
He is stalling. He should resign now and he is snowing his people and the MEC if he thinks we can't see through his lack of conviction. His agenda item will never pass. The BOD sees right through the USA MEC and knows that these types of agenda items are personal in nature and do not belong in changing the constitution.
He will not prevail; and if he had experience with the BOD, he would know this clearly. I do not believe he will give the seat up at the LECP level.

Regardless, my money says he will not resign his position from CLT.
If he were really serious about doing the right thing, he would not wait for some lame agenda item to pass at the BOD. It will NEVER pass and he knows it.
U is not the only airline within AFA. There are too many small airlines that MUST be BOTH MEC and LEC. Heck, even America West, the 3rd or 4th largest airline within AFA, has only one LEC and he therefore is also the MECP. There is no way the other 25 airlines are going to willingly restrict themselves just so the U MEC can play politics. Besides it takes a 2/3 vote to change the C&B which is extremely hard to obtain.
Mike knows the agenda item will fail just as it did last year. Once it does, he will go to his members and state that he "tried" to change the Constitution but could not and he therefore must remain at both helms CLT and MEC. Of course HE can elect to resign either position at anytime, he does not need the permission of the BOD but most flight attendants will not understand this fact. Mike is using the BOD as an excuse to retain his seat in CLT without looking as if that is exactly what his intention was all along.
If you are not Mike, then he has just pulled the wool over your eyes.
Here is why I believe you will never see Mike resign his CLT LECP seat:
1. If he did, then Ann automatically moves into the seat and takes control of CLT's approx. 1700 roll call votes.
2. I believe that those heading up the recall of Laura in Philly have a very good chance of being successful which means that seat would go to Terry Graff UNLESS the newly elected PHL Sec Treas resigns as she has threatened. If PHL gets down to only one officer that will cause an election which I believe would put one of the two previously unsuccessful candidates in charge of ALL those PHL roll call votes. After all of Mike's recent stunts, I doubt he will be supported by a new LECP in PHL.
3. Last but not least, once the merger is completed, PHX, which has a roll call vote almost as large, if not larger than PHL's will make the 7th LEC and the 7th vote at the table however it will still only take 4 to elect. After the crap Mike and Laura have pulled, I doubt that Mike will be able to gather the required 4 votes and instead the seat will go to the Am West MECP or Previous MECP, both good men who care about their members more than they care about personal agendas and power.
Mikey will only have himself, his ego and his politics to blame for his own demise. That is what happens when you get so wrapped up in politics and power that you become divisive.

Especially when they are direct phone numbers of a senior manager (not for long though) in CCY. Right lime boy?EyeInTheSky said:
Are you getting nervous yet? This is the third time you didn't cover your tracks. However, me thinks this time it is going to cause you some serious trouble..... Wonder if your guardian angel can protect you this time?
Wonder if Doug knows all about your little "tricks"? I still have the evidience in my case.
Maybe I should ask him.
Couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy...... I for one hope she burns you bad. Orange looks so much better on you than green does.
Or better yet, maybe it is time for you to resign since you will not be making the move to PHX.

Don't forget to contact travel journalist Christopher Elliott. He has some hard evidence as well from the USA TODAY fiasco last year. He's writing for the NY Times now....

Thanks for the insight.
If only Flores was going to suffer from his actions; well and good.
Sadly, the entire f/a contingent at U is going to suffer from his hubris.
1. This is a time of great transition.
2. The Palace has a demonstrated grudge against Teddy. She held her own against them, while the alpha-male IAM and ALPA caved.
3. This latest fandango was initiated by Glass.
4. Palace gets an obstacle out of the way, amd their revenge.
5. A hatchet man, MPA, is alive and well at Tempe.
I can't see how that doesn't add up to future pain for the f/a's.
As teddy didn't accept the deal, I don't see the problem. The Palace is free to offer me, you or anybody else a side deal. YOU THINK SOME WEREN'T OFFERED TO SOME OTHER UNIONS LEADERS TO SELL OUT THE MEMBERSHIP?
And they're sitting on their Benedict Arnold a$$es somewhere, fat and sassy.
No HR disclosures about the ones that played ball, are there?
The fact Teddy is the ONLY union leader in the crosshairs speaks volumes about her work on the membership's behalf, and the fact NO OTHER union leader is getting the 'treatment' sends a clear message, as well.

PineyBob, the scary thing is how much more damage WILL this person inflict upon US Airways before he leaves? If I were management in Tempe, I'd be watching this one closely. IMHO, nothing short of a public apology and his subsequent firing will right this wrong.
