President Dale Danker: Canceling January and combining it with February membership meeting
I wanted to share this email with you all, I sent it to the executive board and wanted to keep you all informed.
TWU 514 Executive Board,
The meetings in Miami this week have produced positive conversations surrounding internal structural problems within our air division. The other Maintenance Presidents and I had conversations with Alex and John. The entire group spoke on the same issues. Mike Mayes sent me a text message this morning and asked if I knew he was coming to the January membership meeting. I told him I had no idea he had intended to come to Tulsa.

Tech Ops Team,
We are laser-focused on delivering for our customers and supporting our team during the busy holiday travel season. The reality is this holiday season is different than any other as we continue to welcome back more customers to travel.
The best way we can deliver for our customers is by running a safe and reliable operation. But it should not be lost on anyone that the way we do business is different than it was a mere 20 months ago. It’s not always easy for the team charged with keeping our airline moving. That’s why we developed a holiday pay program for peak travel days during the next two months, a time when so many of you are away from your families so our customers can be with theirs.
Here’s what you should know:
- Eligibility: All U.S.-based Tech Ops team members represented by the TWU-IAM are eligible.
- Perfect attendance: Eligible team members with perfect attendance for the time they are scheduled beginning Nov. 15, 2021 through Jan. 2, 2022 are eligible to receive $1,000.
- Payout: We anticipate the $1,000 payout will be in your paycheck no later than early February.
We’re eager to make this great a holiday season for both our customers and team members. We hope the holiday pay program we put in place will help provide our team with additional support during this busy time and make it clear how grateful we are for the work you do.
