Results, not promises.
This campaign is built on a record of work already done. Before asking Pilots for their support again, it is important to show what this board has already accomplished on behalf of the Pilot group.
While a few members of the previous board have chosen not to run again, the majority of the current Executive Board remains intact. That continuity matters because it means the work already underway does not lose momentum, and the direction remains clear: pro Pilot.
Enforcement and protecting Pilots
The board stayed engaged on major disputes instead of letting them fade into the background. IBT3 was settled, and final resolution on IBT2 is expected very soon, reflecting a sustained approach to enforcement and accountability.
That same commitment showed up in direct member protection. The board corrected a USERRA-related compliance issue by restoring full 401(k) contributions for military-member Pilots after the company failed to make the required contributions during service leave. It also fought hundreds of grievances, helped secure the rescission of seven terminations, and put those Pilots back to work.
During this board’s term, the stewards and legal team negotiated the 23.C settlement addressing duty time violations. The Local 357 app was also upgraded to include a direct filing link, giving Pilots a more immediate way to report issues and helping the union build the record needed to enforce the contract.
Anthony Campo and Phil Carter also had a candid and direct meeting with the company’s executive leadership regarding culture and discipline. That meeting was not symbolic; it was part of a serious effort to confront how discipline was being administered.
Stronger representation and committee support
That focus on enforcement was backed by stronger representation infrastructure. The steward committee was fully staffed and trained, annual steward training was instituted, a Steward-on-Duty rotation program was approved, and the Executive Board chose to add full-time general counsel to improve continuity, responsiveness, and follow-through when Pilots need support.
This board also supported community efforts and charitable organizations that our Pilots are directly involved in. That matters because a strong union is not only defined by negotiations and grievances, but also by how it supports the broader causes, commitments, and communities that matter to its members.
This board also advanced safety efforts through the hard work and training of our safety committee. We believe safety representation matters most when the committee is supported, engaged, and prepared to do the work, because protecting Pilots requires not only enforcement after the fact, but steady attention to the issues that affect the operation every day.
Modernizing the union and continuing the work
The board also modernized the way members connect with the union by adding a membership database, a grievance database, and a grievance tracker, while upgrading the Local 357 app with direct-filing capability. These improvements allow greater efficiency for office staff and stewards while making the union more accessible, more practical, and better equipped to serve a modern Pilot group in real time.
On the contractual and bargaining side, the Negotiations Committee was staffed and JCBA bargaining began. The board also continued pressing forward while awaiting final resolution on the New Hire Agreement contracts, showing that the larger bargaining agenda has continued to move.
This campaign is not built on promises about what leadership might do someday; it is built on work already done and a board that intends to continue that direction with purpose and accountability.
