| Don Steinman for the MEC. Subjects: MEC Chairman Don Steinman, along with Vice Chairman Darcy Pierce, and MEC Chairman-elect Roger Cox met with AWA Executive Vice President Gil Mook yesterday. The MEC called the meeting to allow Captain Cox, in his Central Air Safety chairman role, the opportunity to share his concerns over flight and ramp safety at the airline, including pilot scheduling issues. In a generally positive response Mook thanked pilots for their support of the Early Alert program, and encouraged all to continue to comply with established procedures for maintenance write-ups. The next PHX Council 62 Local Council meeting will be next Thursday, August 26 at the Doubletree Hotel, 44th Street and Van Buren in Phoenix. The meeting will be held from 5pm to 8pm, followed by a reception from 8pm to 10pm. Several national officers will be our guests at the meeting, including ALPA President Duane Woerth. In addition, both the outgoing and newly elected MEC officers will be on hand for the meeting and the reception. All members in good standing are encouraged to attend, and–as this is an open meeting–spouses are welcome. If you are a holder of warrants for America West stock, remember that these warrants will expire on August 25 if not exercised on or before that date.

If you have not received these instructions or need further assistance call Harris Trust Company at 800-926-5864. The Family Awareness Committee plans to hold its second family get-together on October 13 from 5pm to 9pm, at the Confederate Air Force Hangar at Falcon Field in Mesa. Refreshments will be served, as well as hamburgers, hot dogs and brats. Admission is free to all pilots and their families. |
