ALPA MEC CODE-A-PHONE UPDATE - May 20, 2007
This is Arnie Gentile with a US Airways MEC update for Sunday, May 20th, with one new item.
Item 1. MEC Chairman Jack Stephan recorded a Chairman’s Message yesterday that reminds our pilots that the MEC is singularly focused on righting the wrong of the Nicolau award. We fully understand the magnitude of the career destruction it would bring. As we stated before, we can ill afford to be spectators in the final demise of our careers. The leadership of ALPA, who want to “Take it Back,†needs to see the faces that belong to the US Airways story.
To assist in transportation on Monday, we will have buses making multiple runs from both IAD and DCA airports, starting 10:00am from IAD and 9:30am from DCA to the ALPA Herndon Offices located at; 535 Herndon Pkwy, Herndon, VA, 20170. The following is some pertinent information from “The Executive Council Event Information Flyer,†with some updates.
