This month begins the process of choosing the Executive Board that will lead Local 2750 through the next three years.
This election comes at an important time for our pilot group. We are in Section 6 negotiations for our next collective bargaining agreement. Atlas continues to change. The Air Atlanta investment presents new questions about the future of our flying and the importance of protecting our scope. The failures surrounding Amex have tested our crews and our contract. And the recent Training Center vote sent an unmistakable message about where this membership stands.
At the same time, Local 2750 is a very different organization from the one we inherited.
We have built the financial resources, professional staff, legal support, technology, committees, steward structure, member-support programs, bargaining expertise, and institutional experience necessary to represent more than 3,000 Atlas pilots.
And we have produced results.
Over the last several years, we have secured improvements involving retirement, scheduling, vacation, reserve protections, hotels, commuter travel, deadhead class of service, training, Open Time, GDO compensation, taxi pay, fertility treatment, and other areas of the contract. We have resolved grievances, won arbitrations, strengthened enforcement, and continued improving the infrastructure pilots rely upon every day.
That record also says something about how we have led this Local.
