7. Update from MECVP on roster and dues
Emails have been sent for members to update (with skypro numbers) and all information. OO has a spreadsheet to keep track. Will keep in contact with local membership chairs. Push first of June/July.
8. Update on Training LOA
This item was discussed during Labor Management on April 8 and included in the EM update. The last proposal was sent from AFA to the Company in October. Follow-up requests for updates were made in January, February, and April. Progress was delayed following Angela’s departure; however, Paul has now reviewed the proposal and a meeting will be scheduled to address two outstanding company concerns.
9. Meeting with the company about an LOA for the IROP language. I believe when I was the MECVP we were supposed to schedule a meeting with the company. I understand that Laura is working with the company to develop best practices for IROPS not language changes.
The agenda from that Oct meeting was provided:
IROPs; impact and means of notification
Training language (Section 12)
Gate agent contact issues
Fatigue language (reconciling FAM and CBA)
Joe/Laura working towards a policy of IROP language and processes, not an LOA at this time due to closeness of Section 6 (along with the other items.) Dave is getting with his team to see if any can be further facilitated prior to Section 6
10. 2026-2027 Budget discussion
EM wants to move the budget discussion to May meeting, to verify final numbers after resolution passed.
