:
----------------------------------------
WHEREAS since Master Chairman Morse has taken office, it has been one the busiest tenures for UAL MEC officers, and
WHEREAS United is nearing a full year since the merger of UAL and CAL, and
WHEREAS during her tenure, Captain Morse has reestablished constructive communications with UAL senior management and the UAL Board of Directors, thus gaining much more information from the UAL BOD for use by the MEC than has been previously possible, and
WHEREAS during her tenure, and through her positive UAL BOD relationship, Captain Morse successfully advocated against the Company’s plan for additional pilot furloughs, and
WHEREAS Captain Morse, through her public communications, leadership, and lobbying on the UAL BOD, helped avoid another ill-conceived US Airways merger, and was instrumental in reigniting the merger with Continental Airlines when it was obvious that senior management was indeed going to merge the airline, and
WHEREAS Captain Morse, through her public communications, dealings with the financial community, and testimony to Congress, has repeatedly made it clear that our support of the Continental merger is contingent upon an industry-leading JCBA with strong job and scope protections, and
WHEREAS Captain Morse was instrumental in securing a letter of agreement with the Company for payment of the UAL/CAL MECs’ merger expenses, and
WHEREAS Captain Morse has brought the MEC’s expenses back to a responsible level while reestablishing the Contract Hotline and staffing it by hiring furloughed pilots, and
WHEREAS during her tenure, Captain Morse has had to work carefully under a federal court injunction; oversee numerous MEC meetings; coordinate all merger-related activities and communications with the Continental MEC and its officers, which at times has been a difficult relationship; conducted numerous personal visits to council meetings, domiciles, and cockpits; host webcasts and other forms of frequent, germane, and truthful correspondence; and
WHEREAS United pilot unity and support of such leadership will never be more important for the interests of United pilots than from now through the ratification of a JCBA, and the merging of a new MEC with the CAL MEC, and
WHEREAS Captain Morse, as an ad hoc member of the Negotiating Committee, has been kept up-to-date on the status of negotiations and has provided suggestions to the committee on the forward-looking plan. With her vast experience in negotiations, the master chairman is doing a superb job of keeping together a committee with two new chairmen and making sure they represent the United pilots in the industry-leading negotiations, and
WHEREAS under Captain Morse’s tenure, the Transition and Process Agreement was negotiated by the JNC and brought before the MEC, where it was approved unanimously by a vote of 15–0, and
WHEREAS it has been said that certain groups of UAL pilots are unhappy with the lack and depth of communications from the master chairman, when in fact the Transition and Process Agreement states that a certain professional tone must be carried,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the
pilots of Council 52 give our master chairman, Captain Wendy Morse, a vote of confidence showing our complete support, and
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the
pilots of Council 52 direct their LEC officers to cast a vote of support for Chairman Morse, and
THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the pilots of Council 52 direct their LEC officers to vote to oppose any recall or attempt by others or to show lack of support for Chairman Morse in any way.
Passed—Unanimous
-------------------------------------------
Notice it passed unanimously. This recall does not have the legs it needs. The votes are not there. This was started by the same Washington pilots who tried and failed to start UPA many years ago.
Now Cleary on the other hand, he's in trouble! How's THAT recall going, oh master of irrelevant information?
