Weez when are you going FLL? You will have to bulk load there which you don’t like and you will have less downtime at a line station than a hub.

When I become TWU Im going to suggest all local presidents get privileged parking too

Union Bosses should never get complacent because they never know what can happen. We need our Union Bosses slim, trim and in good fighting shape here.

I haven’t gotten opinions from people on Weez Al. Weez was going to meet me at Gulfstream Park about four years ago in Fall 2014-after the merger closed but before the alliances single carrier determination from the NMB but he bailed on me, BLUTO and Roabilly.

I actually understand completely although you guys have honestly been trying to make the course happen now for well over 30 years. So there’s always one reason or another.

This time I think it’s more that many of you guys are ok with contractually giving up work and taking an agreement that keeps you in your Stations till you retire.

But if you read Dale’s update it seems to me as if he hasn’t gotten all of those details yet and I’m sure doesn’t just trust the Company’s word.

We’ve all been around long enough now to know that the Company (Management) never lives up to what they claim publicly is their intentions.

And I cannot fully understand how 30 years of being a TWU member has you trusting the union either?

Buck its called insanity the Weez is a smart guy and claims to be in the middle.But when it comes to his union hes passionate. Your driving with your wife and she blatantly cuts someone off and they flip her off your not going to agree with the other guy.Its just the way it goes sometimes

T, W, U. are nothing more than letters. I’ve gotten to know some of the “people” in office now and I like them. I don’t “trust” anyone. And I certainly don’t trust the Company cause they aren’t obligated to me at all even though a lot of people out there think they’re owed something.

I don’t trust what’s in writing though. If I have a Contract I expect the Company to honor and abide by the language in it. I prefer they don’t go against or break their word on that as best as possible.

I didn't hear that his handlers assigned him to FLL for the company. From what I know, Lehive instructed him to continue in MIA, then after a ratification, the IAM can get him off the clock and he can get his reward working the curb in FLL on the defunct JetBlue campaign. But, the IAM still has to spend about $4 million a year on organizing to satisfy AFLCIO stipulations, so they continue their madness at JetBlue, which absolutely hates the IAM and is well aware that they all will lose their jobs if the IAM gets on the property. I've discussed principles and ethics with Weez but some people just follow the money. Sad.

Because I firmly believe for what we do if you took the Unions out of the picture and there was never a threat of them returning we would be making maybe somewhere between $17 to $20 for an experienced man, tons more PT workers, no retirement match, and our Medical would be even worse than what it is right now.

My Union is my $$MONEY$$. I like to protect my money.

Well, start supporting your Local union then. That would be a good start. Focus on that instead of any Lehive's advances about the FLL gig. BTW, why are you complaining about NYer's $31,000 when Alex is making $269,000? No wonder why Alex is submitted to Sito, his high salary has pacified him. So Sad.

NO union anything should be making 269k.Yet the Weez supports...I don't get it

Money trail. He isn't stepping out of line now. He wants off the ramp. Is Alex worth a salary of $269,000? Hell no. Most INTL unions much larger don't even have the Presidents make $200,000. IAM and TWU INTL are raking it in. And Weez wants to bust on NYer for only making a modest $31,000. So Sad.

Plus, NYer does a lot more work than Alex. Alex does make some good coffee for Sito though, unless Gary took over that role.

At any rate, I have a reason to move to MIA and I may need NYer's help along other matters in real estate although I'm not rolling in the future money as Weez may be. Of course if I win the INTL presidency, I'm gonna cut my pay.
