Lest there be any doubt...
I am a Memphis-based MD-11 Captain. I have been an ALPA member in good standing since I was hired in 2005. Although I have already been called a "useful idiot of management" since starting this website, I have never been in management, never sought a management position nor even taught in the schoolhouse or done any special projects. I have been a line pilot for 15 years (but know that I am 80%+ in my seat and do plenty of night hub turns). This is being undertaken by me--alone--because I see our inclusion in Part 117 causing more circadian rhythm swaps and associated fatigue and being a huge hit on our way of life. I have voiced my displeasure with members of the MEC directly, but honestly, didn't know they were even considering their July resolution so all the dialog happened after the damage was already done. Once the ALPA National President had a resolution from the FedEx MEC, he set into motion a huge effort lobbying to pass this bill without really knowing its impact on us.
