Members establish direction
Members develop proposals, discuss trade-offs, and establish direction through the Local’s governing processes.
LOCAL 2750 EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTION
Empowered members.
Accountable officers.
Members help determine the Local’s direction. Officers carry it into action. An organized membership makes that promise real—in bargaining, contract enforcement, and the daily life of Local 2750.
ONE LOCAL. ONE VOICE. 2750 MEMBERS FIRST.A stronger Local starts here
Representation that shows up. Transparency you can see. A membership that is heard.
Why We’re Running
Make the promise of our Local a reality.
Since receiving our own charter, we have had a Local of our own. We believe the member-led Teamsters union envisioned by the IBT Constitution and Local 2750 bylaws has yet to become our everyday reality.
We have studied those foundations in depth because we believe in their promise. Our purpose is to put them into practice: members conducting their union’s business through its governing processes, officers fulfilling their duties, and our resources devoted to the needs we share. Together, we can demonstrate how strong that Local can be.
“Member-led” will mean more than a slogan. It will be how the Local operates every day.
MEMBER-LED. MEMBER-DRIVEN.
Your union.
A meaningful role in its direction.
The campaign’s proposed approach: members establish direction through the governing processes, officers do the work, and members can judge the results.

01 / MEMBER ADVOCACY
MEET CAPTAIN JOHN CORCORAN
Officers serve.
Members set direction.
Asking the hard questions. Sharing the documents. Keeping members in the conversation.
Captain John Corcoran is running for President of Local 2750 with 2750 Members First. His work with Jesse Johansen includes a written challenge concerning Article 33 and a membership advisory on scope protection.
The common thread is simple: members deserve to understand the decisions that affect their work, their protections, and their Local.
See the work behind the wordsBuilt on shared experience.
John says he has known Jesse and Brent for more than 20 years, dating back to flying together in Alaska.
ONE MEMBERSHIP
Different flight decks.
The same commitment.
Across every aircraft, the work begins with people. Captains and First Officers deserve representation that understands life on the line.
ONE SLATE. A SHARED PURPOSE.
Meet 2750 Members First.
Captains and First Officers.
Different experience. A common commitment to the membership.
Our experience starts with membership.
Much of our union experience comes from being active members: asking questions, bringing proposals, advocating for fellow pilots, and working to make participation meaningful. That experience has taught us why the membership’s role must be respected, not continually contested.
We bring independent judgment and serious preparation. We respect the experience already within this Local and will build on what serves members well. What we have asked of officers as members is what we will expect of ourselves as officers.

MARCH 2022 · JOHN’S ACCOUNT
Speaking up on employment policy.
John says he and Jesse attended the Q1 General Membership Meeting in March 2022 to advocate against subjecting members to the company’s COVID-19 vaccination policy.
The accompanying resolution calls for union action and collection of member grievances. It records a proposed course of action; the supplied copy does not record adoption or an outcome.
Read the proposed resolution PDF ↗MARCH 20, 2024 · ELECTION APPEAL DECISION
Seeking wider election participation.
John Corcoran challenged the conduct of Local 2750’s 2023 Executive Board election and pursued an appeal through the union’s governing process. On March 20, 2024, the IBT General Executive Board upheld his appeal, finding that members had been denied a reasonable opportunity to vote and that this affected the election outcome.
It ordered a rerun with a 90-day ballot-return period, Airline Division oversight, and a different election service.
This decision documents John’s advocacy for member participation and the protections in the IBT Constitution and Local bylaws. It does not establish the number of additional members who voted in the rerun.

Making room for more member meetings.
A resolution supplied by John proposes monthly general membership meetings, citing the IBT Constitution and the Local’s bylaws.
The document sets out the proposal and its authors’ reasoning. It does not identify a proposer, record a vote, or establish that the meeting schedule changed.
Read the proposed resolution PDF ↗MARCH 19, 2026 • ARTICLE 33
Asking who designates a hostile area.
John Corcoran and Jesse Johansen signed a notice of intended grievance challenging how Article 33.A.3 is interpreted and applied. They requested designation agreements, a grievance form, and the Union’s interpretation.
Why this matters
The notice connects the designation question to compensation, injury-related income and benefits, and life-insurance protections. It presents the authors’ position; it does not establish a final grievance outcome. The supplied five-page notice lists appendices that were not included.
MEMBERSHIP ADVISORY • SCOPE PROTECTION
Bringing scope concerns to the membership.
In an advisory, John and Jesse raised questions about reported Air Atlanta flying and the protection of bargaining-unit work. They urged members to examine scope language closely in a future tentative agreement.
Read the advisory in context
The authors describe reports requiring confirmation and give their interpretation of the contract. The advisory is undated; its supplied filename is dated July 30, 2026. This summary does not independently verify the reports or the contract interpretation.
