Hello Boston Pilots, on Wednesday, the National Mediation Board April 25, 2014 Hello Boston Pilots, On Wednesday, the National Mediation Board certified the election for representation and named the Airline Pilots Association Int’l (ALPA) as the bargaining agent for the pilots of JetBlue Airways. Following established protocols, ALPA has named interim representatives to create a governance structure for JetBlue pilots to address issues that may arise before electing your permanent ALPA representatives. Membership Drive In order to hold elections for permanent representatives, we must first become ALPA members. You should have already received a membership application, and we ask that you complete that as soon as possible. For your convenience, we have provided a link to the membership application here. Simply fill out the application and return it via fax, e-mail, or U.S. mail as provided on the application. The sooner ALPA receives your application, the faster you can take advantage of the benefits ALPA provides. Acceptance of your membership application means you can participate in local council meetings, nominate and elect permanent local representatives and officers, provide direction on contract surveys, and be a part of other similar activities. Your participation and input to these key governance and negotiation membership privileges are essential for pilot group success. No dues obligations will begin until Aug. 1, 2014. If you received this email and are not a Boston-based pilot, please understand that we are working with a mailing list that was generated during the organizing drive. This mailing list will be adjusted to include only Boston-based pilots based upon completed membership applications. MEC Meeting The first meeting of the JetBlue Airways ALPA MEC will take place on Monday, April 28th at 1:00PM at Spolini’s (116-25 Metropolitan Ave, Jamaica, NY) and will run until approximately 5:00PM followed by a reception for JetBlue pilots at 6:00PM. We encourage all pilots to attend this historic event. Council 193 Boston Interim Representatives Your interim representatives for Local Council 193 Boston are: Captain Representative: Christopher Kenney ([email protected]) Chris was hired into the A320 8.5 years ago. He became an E190 captain in 2008. Prior to JetBlue, he spent five years at Air Wisconsin and three years at Big Sky Airlines. Chris grew up in Wyoming and lives in New Hampshire with his wife and three children. First Officer Representative: Shawn Mercer ([email protected]) Shawn has been with JetBlue since 2011. Prior to working at JetBlue, Shawn was a Dash 8 Captain with Colgan Air. While working at Colgan, Shawn served on the merger committee in the three-way merger of Colgan, Pinnacle, and Mesaba. Shawn is a former active duty Marine and lives with his wife of ten years and son in the Seacoast of New Hampshire, where they are expecting their second child in June. Secretary-Treasurer: John Costello ([email protected]) John was hired into the E190 in September 2006. Prior to JetBlue, he spent seven years at ExpressJet Airlines flying the ATR-42/72 and EMB-145 and three years of corporate flying the Merlin IIIB and Westwind. John graduated from Babson College with a BS in Entrepreneurial Studies and Management Information Systems. He lives south of Boston with his wife and two daughters. We are all volunteers and active line pilots who are all very passionate about our careers and will continue the path that has brought us to this point: pilots organizing ourselves and using ALPA as a resource to help us secure our first Collective Bargaining Agreement. We are proud to be your interim Local Executive Council, know that the Boston pilots will be well represented, and will continue to uphold the culture that we all have helped to build.

  • National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report
    National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report Location: Yarmouth, MA Accident Number: NYC03MA183 Date & Time: 08/26/2003, 1540 EDT Registration: N240CJ Aircraft: Beech 1900D Aircraft Damage: Destroyed Defining Event: Injuries: 2 Fatal Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Positioning Analysis The accident flight was the first flight after maintenance personnel replaced the forward elevator trim cable. When the flightcrew received the airplane, the captain did not address the recent cable change noted on his maintenance release. The captain also did not perform a first flight of the day checklist, which included an elevator trim check. Shortly after takeoff, the flightcrew reported a runway trim, and manually selected nose-up trim. However, the elevator trim then traveled to the full nose-down position. The control column forces subsequently increased to 250 pounds, and the flightcrew was unable to maintain control of the airplane. During the replacement of the cable, the maintenance personnel skipped a step in the manufacturer's airliner maintenance manual (AMM). They did not use a lead wire to assist with cable orientation. In addition, the AMM incorrectly depicted the elevator trim drum, and the depiction of the orientation of the cable around the drum was ambiguous. The maintenance personnel stated that they had completed an operational check of the airplane after maintenance. The Safety Board performed a mis-rigging demonstration on an exemplar airplane, which reversed the elevator trim system. An operational check on that airplane revealed that when the electric trim motor was activated in one direction, the elevator trim tabs moved in the correct direction, but the trim wheel moved opposite of the corresponding correct direction.
