This Friday morning, Jul 7, 2023, we have 21 aircraft at our four(4) Base Maintenance Stations and 22 aircraft at the HMP vendors.  I’m still working on Headcount for compliance with Scope.  Next Base Outsourcing meeting is scheduled at headquarters on Sep 7, 2023. If  you would like me to stop by to give a brief update on our base outsourcing language in the CBA, please let me know.  I believe this is one of the most important Articles in the CBA that helps maintain our job security for the future..  It’s important that every member knows how it is calculated. 

Myself along with several other Local 514 Officers will be attending the TWU Cope Convention in Washington DC next week, Sunday to Wednesday.  If you need to get in touch, call (918) 845-8045.  

Have a great day,

Jay
