PHL LECP double dipping just like predecessor?

[PITbull]

Putting out all the fires that F/A have on an hourly basis. Uhhhh...let's see....the ppl who get fired and need representation. Or to keep ppl from BEING fired. Let me think...PPL call to find out if they are legal for trips...a lot...so much that John posted a cheat sheet...and still ppl call to ask, "Am I legal?" Other stuff you and I are not allowed to know because of confidentiality. Frankly, I appreciate someone in the Union office that keeps their mouth shut about F/A personal issues.

Hmmm I would suggest that you spend some time in the office and see exactly what the Union is doing, or better yet. if you have solutions other than idle chatter, volunteer to help the Union or run for office if you can do a better job. It appears that those on this website without Union experience may think John just sits on his thumbs and does nothing all day. Why don't you find out for yourself?

We are in contract negations right now and John is at the helm keeping the ship steady in some serious gale winds. If all the bloggers who are on here would try to help each other rather than tear ppl apart, we might have change. Have you ever heard of "divide and conquerâ€￾? We need one voice, not many pulling in different directions.

ANSWER THE QUESTION:

Does McCorkey receive 105-108 AFA company flight pay loss MONTHLY???? THIS IS NOT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; BUT RATHER A CONTRACTUAL ISSUE, BUDDY![/b

At the helm???? Everytime I call the office I talk to someone else. Everytime I am in the International crew room I see John going on a trip DURING THE WEEK mind you.

I WAS involved in the union and I can tell you he does NOTHING compared to what Teddy and that office did in PIT.

We are nearing a total revolt against the company AND the union from the reserve group (WHICH NOBODY SEEMS TO GIVE TWO FLIPPIN SH!TS ABOUT) and you have the nerve to spout out minor sh!t that "he does daily".

THERE ARE PROBLEMS THAT ARE BEYOND THE DAY TO DAY THAT HE IS NOT ADDRESSING.

Our whole MEC is a friggin Joke. Nothing but a bunch of little primadonnas. Try being a real union like the UAW or Teamsters.....

They know what it is like to be a union and not a friggin Barbie pony show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ILOVETOFLY]

John doesn't commute home because he's flying ETB when he can land the trip he wants to fly or swap with.

Try being honest...but, that's just never been your style now has it? If McCorkey cares about these ethical issues, he should be furnishing his entire flight pay, both AFA company fpl, AFA fpl and ETB the past 6 months...DOES HE HAVE THE BALLS???

Paid his dues to the f/as in PHL???? What a bunch of crap! How long has he been in there? 8 months? I would bet its over 160 hours a month.

Spin away!!!!

Try being honest, you don't even know me nor do I know you?

Gee, how do you know that John doesn't fly home because he's flying ETB trips? Fly or swap? HUH? You are not just PitBull you are FULL of Bull! 9 trips in 11 months doesn't allow too much time away from base.

If you can do it better, do it! Put up or shut up! Or are you just a loser who is full of hot air and nowhere to blow? Who the He!! are you anyway? John's ex gf? No, he would have much better taste.

If you want answers, instead of hiding your words on this blog, give John a call. Operators are standing by. Do YOU have the balls? Get back to all of us with your findings...IF you have the B A L L S ...

ANSWER THE QUESTION....DOES MCCORKEY RECEIVE 105-108 MONTHLY FPL (AS STATED BY ANDY IN HIS POST) APPROVED BY CINDI SIMONE?

Simple question!!!

 

[PITbull]

Love to fly,

YOUR SILENCE IS DEAFENING. CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE OR A LARGE PIZZA????

DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU CHOKE...OTHERWISE, WHO WOULD BE AT THE HELM RUNNING THE SHIP. IF MCCORKEY IS NEGOTIATING IS THAT WITH OR WITHOUT THENEGOTIATING COMMITTEE??

CAUSE HE AIN'T GETTING SHITTT DONE!!!!

If you are going to get personal...go crawl back under the rock where you came from "NEWBIE"!!!

This is a real issue and we don't need your personal attacks..... okay JM??

 

[PITbull]

Here's the issue folks... If McCorkey is getting 105 of AFA company flight pay loss...he's busted the contract.

Oly f/as who have been "red circled" in 2005 (may) can fly 105. Not even a union rep can collect 105 if they were not red circled in.

This needs investigated, and Irecommend that you contact the MEC members to investigate. IF this is true, than the MECP got involved and no other rf/a can receive 105 of company flying time, unless they were red circled in 2005.

IF YOU TAKE NOTICE...THE NEWBIE ILOVETOFLY HAS PRAPIDLY EXITED THE SCENE AND IS NO WHERE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION.

 

[flytchick]

Just want you all to know out East that we are having the same problems of double dipping with the West MEC - especially with our Sec/Treas. (M.S) It is going to be the focus that the new people running will be counting on to get the present officers out. More power to them. The days of double dipping and everyone looking the other way is LONG gone. It will be heard at election time and I for one cannot wait to see our Sec/Tres. actually have to WORK by flying a line. What a novel concept.

I have been lurking this thread. I can't believe it was started only a few days ago and has spread like wildfire! This is crazy! I wasn't even going to post anything because I had decided not to add any fuel to the fire but I can't keep quiet any longer so here goes. First of all, I am ashamed that all of you would sit here and hypothesize, speculate, and publicly accuse our LECP of all sorts of horrible things. I have spoken to JM and it is no secret that he did fly at the end of December. So what? I seriously don't get what the big deal is. It's not like he is doing it to pull the wool over our eyes and stick his tongue out and shout "Ha! Ha! Ha!" It's not like he is consistently overflying each and every month instead of making himself available to help us out. As I recall, he had not worked a trip at all since he was instated in office until the end of December. Also, any time I have needed JM's help he has always been available to help me out, which is usually after normal office hours. If I call him and he can't pick up, like if he is talking to someone else, then he immediately returns my phone call. If I email him with a problem, then he promptly replies. He has always helped me out when I needed his help, no matter what time of the day or night it was.

Instead of publicly saying all these derogatory rumors and speculations about him, why don't you just call him up and ask what is going on. Get the facts from him! I'm sure he will tell you whatever information you need to know. Or better yet, stop by the office to see him work or go and volunteer. He really does work hard for the union, even if many of you can't see it. As for him not changing the reserve situation, I agree we need a change NOW! It pisses me off to no end that our union allows blockholders to overfly! How dare you let this happen! How can you live with yourselves knowing that we are on the chopping block suffering so you and your friends can have a flexible schedule and better pay? However, after going to the last union meeting, I see how John's hands are tied. I got the impression that he is a reasonable guy and that he does want to change things, however he also has to work with others who don't seem to care as much about reserve issues as we do. In that regard, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. I think he is doing what he can and that he truly does care about us. Just like I care about providing good service in first class but can only work with the tools mgmt provides me. My hands are tied.

As for John bashing the union in the past, last time I checked, just about all of us at one time or another have publicly talked about how much the union sucks or how shady the operation is or whatever. I am just as guilty as the next person. Yes I have questioned his motives and I asked him about it. You all can too! Instead of talking smack about him and his motives, call or email him and ask him what he has done to help reserves, what kind of help and support has he received from other union reps in dealing with improving the reserve situation, what his motives are for being in office, what has he done this whole time, how much money is he collecting, etc. However, maybe John wanted to run because he truly did want to bring about a change. Maybe he was fed up with how things were going. How do you know what his intentions are? Have you spoken with him about it? Has he told you his motives for taking office? How can you accuse him of having less than noble intentions? I would like to believe he is here for the right reasons. If not, the truth will come out and he will pay. I believe he truly is passionate about his union work and helping us out. There is a lot of work that goes into being the LECP that many of us don't know about unless we have been in his shoes. So if you have never been the LECP, don't judge what he is doing. I imagine it isn't an easy job, especially when you have to deal with the people he has to deal with. I wouldn't trade places with him for even a second. If I did, it probably wouldn't be pretty.

Also, some of you have mentioned that he is doing a horrible job and that he isn't doing enough. Well, instead of directing your passion and enthusiasm toward a negative direction by bashing him, why don't you point it toward something positive. Maybe you should run for LECP and work hard to make a change for all of us. Or if you don't want to run but you have a friend or colleague who you think would be great and who has the passion, drive, and the balls to take charge and improve things around here, then encourage them to run and support them in their campaign. Channel that energy into something productive rather than slandering the person who is currently in office. That will get us absolutely nowhere. It won't bring about a change for the better. If anything, it will only bring others down. Morale around here is already at all all-time low. There is no need to make it any worse.

I know some of you are wondering who am I to be saying these things. After all, I am the queen of slander, b!tching, and complaining on here, especially recently. I guess I am just a moody and emotional female. In any case, that is not the person I want to be and I am working on changing myself. I have learned that publicly ridiculing others and spreading malicious gossip does nothing but make you look foolish and it takes away any credibility that you may have had. I think we should all stop this nonsense and put an end to the defamatory remarks against JM and anybody else. He is a human being and he does have feelings and he doesn't deserve to have over ten pages of lies, accusations, and malicious gossip directed toward him. How would you like it if all these people were talking smack about you? I bet you wouldn't like it. I know I wouldn't. Furthermore, I am surprised that this discussion has lasted as long as it has and that the moderators are letting it continue. Thanks for listening.

PS - John in a nice guy and while some of you may see that as a negative I find it nice to actually have someone be friendly after having to deal with rude people all day at work. Also, just because he is nice doesn't mean he can't fight and win a battle.

PSS - I am sure there will be people who will flame me and let me know really quick that if I don't like this thread that I don't have to read and participate and you are right because after I send this message I won't be reading it anymore. I'm sure I will also get flamed for taking up for him. Whatever. I really don't care. I just couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer. I simply do not condone all the slander and gossip that is going on in this thread and I had to say something. That's all.

 

[missthe727]

Maybe John should spend some time on RSV if he really wants to know “what it’s like out thereâ€￾.

He needs to do OPR and sit at that table and talk to every F/A--B/H and RSV who comes theough that crew room. THAT would be getting out amoungst the members....

Keeping the ship steady ? Spare me the drama...in your previous post you stated:

HERE ARE THE FACTS:

1) John flew MUC on Dec. 23; BRU on Dec. 27 and MXP on Dec. 31. Notice he worked on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.

Explain to me how he is keeping the ship steady while he was out of the country for almost a week---during the craziest holiday time of the season. Help me out here.

 

[philly rocks]

JM cannot use crew rooms at the airport to hold meetings. The company will fire him! That is what Council 70 quarterly meetings are for. I have been to a couple and I can count on two hands the amount of F/A's that show up and show concern. Now because of elections everyone voices their opinions? You are all hypocrites, go to a meeting and tell JM how you feel to his face! Not going to happen!

 

[theFLYonthewall]

I think the original point of this thread was to point out that the current leadership in PHL is doing what the former leadership was forced into resigning for doing. It wasn't that long ago that the PHL membership was up in arms over Ms. A collecting 105 AFA and flying ETB Europe on the weekends. It wasn't okay then, it shouldn't be okay now.

Someone posted that Mr. M has only flown 9 ETB trips since taking office. One a month is not excessive, 3 in one month is unacceptable. Especially when they are all international trips. Is he sitting on the ETB board while in the AFA office waiting for someone to post them? You'd have to be on there like a dog to grab it. I'd be more likely to believe someone is passing them to him. It was mentioned that it was ETB time so that it didn't come off AIL, can he hold a 4 day international trip at his seniority off the AIL? He is taking PPO block so that a block can be given to someone else. How commentable, however that ETB time IS still being taken away from someone who isn't getting 105 hours of pay oh excuse me 108.

Seems to me that during that entire week, sick calls were out of control, with crew scheduling calling people who were off to fly.
I dont care if it was an ETB trip, JM was out there flying. Some of you people on here need to just give it a rest already.

 

[700UW]

Someone please post the correct info, last time I checked PHL-Europe are not one day trips?

Right?

27th was a Thursday and the 31st was a Monday!
