All,
Not a lot to update you on right now, just the Sector 14 stuff. Hope you are all having a joyous holiday season.
Sector 14 MAP Number
I met with Randy Vincent and Lee last week to discuss lowering the MAP number on sector 14. I tried to explain that it is a safety issue and we need to lower the MAP number to have a shot at getting the support we need on sector 14. I made my case for quite a while but it didn’t seem to have much impact. I believe strongly in this as a safety issue and I will continue to fight for this. This is another classic situation where someone who doesn’t actually work the airplanes is making the decisions.
The 7210.3BB requires TMU to formulate a plan for red sectors and recommend that plan of action when they call to notify us of the red sector. To my knowledge, that has not been happening. I am working on getting them to follow the 7210.3BB as well. If you are curious, I have linked it HERE. Chapter 18 Section 8 is where you will find the relevant info. More on that as it happens.
In Solidarity,
Drew
