I am in favor of the MIA SATELLITE BASE LOA.
I have read and understand the LOA and
This LOA benefits our pilot group in the following ways:
- Allows Local pilots relief from commuting.
- Creates relative seniority opportunities in DFW and ORD.
- Creates a showcase opportunity, (MQ vs RAH operations) to be used as leverage in negotiations.
This LOA has little or no risk because:
- The RELATIVE SIZE clause. A 20% cap, period. The cumulative number of all Satellite-Domiciled Pilots system wide shall not exceed
20% of the total active pilot group. This negates "satellites everywhere" conspiracy.
- The DURATION clause. If it turns sour, we can nuke it.
- The BIDDING clause. No one is forced to bid it.
Please do open MIA Satelite. Commuting creates a "constant" amount of stress which over a cumulative period of time can not possibly be healthy, in addition to unnecesary increased fatigue. Also, i wonder if it might benefit the Co in the long run by saving those Htl nights for commuters? Any effort from your part to progress in order to attain the MIA Satelite would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully, FA Mirtha Soyka EE # 329898 DFW Base after displacement
