Everyone except JD/Redmond broke campaign rules and nobody gave a shit enough to do anything about it. Except a slap on the wrist when ND/JH were campaigning illegally while on other duties (using funds from other programs) if memory serves.
Separate issue. But sure. I also know nothing about the campaign rules
They weren’t even nominated and somehow were emailing all of us
That's the part that looks bad to me is using a social gathering paid by member dues to launch your campaign and have a party essentially for that. I don't care about the yacht or dinner (even though there's definitely a lot of room to be more fiscally responsible with member dues), but don't use a NATCA paid for event for your personal gain.
That was rich and mick dumbass
Were you trying to hardship to Mexico?
Wingstop lets you order a whole fucking chicken coop lol for less than that even. The leadership shouldn’t be eating steak on yachts when austerity is the name of the game for line controllers. That money could have and should have been better spent. Lobbying, lawyers, literally anything. Fuck it, spend it paying people’s tickets so the locals don’t have to. For some locals that’s a huge expense, their biggest line item of the year.
Some unions refund excess to members
Probably asked for DFW or some other 100% manned facility. He likely refused to go to an undermanned facility/expand geographical location. There is more to this story then they're letting on because I've seen a similar situation (not Mexico though) get approved. This would have been an approval unless he denied it for some reason.
Nope. I asked for anywhere in the Phoenix or Tucson area. Even SDL or DVT. I was told to pound sand
So the FUCK what? It's the only way to transfer and we pay dues. The contract is clear on what's required.
Nope I agree 100% that if you have everything noted and filed what you need to in accordance with the contract the FAA shouldn't be able to pick and choose which time they want to follow the contract.
Yes if they meet all the requirements for a valid hardship that are laid out in the contract.
Yep, that's the game we're playing by the contract. It sucks seeing people hardship at a black hole facility because why does your family problem make your career better and mine worse? Same story with supervisor deviations, but it is what it is until the contract changes.
I wasn’t making fun of or belittling the hardship. There are facilities that may have worked to get them closer. If the kids were involuntarily taken to Ciudad Juarez, ELP would have made amazing sense as a landing spot, for example.
