While I have personally brought forward multiple resolutions requiring currency on the MEC level I have 1 question that is a followup to your poll....... Are you willing to chop the head off the chairman to get current when we need to have a leader in the room to ensure 1250 guys don't get steamrolled? There is a time and place for everything and my PERSONAL opinion is that he should NOT have ever gone non-current. That being said, right now is NOT the time to send a guy to the schoolhouse. Especially considering the politics involved. If Dec. 2 comes and goes with no TA I guarantee he will be getting current, if not it will be taken care of. FWIW he is doing his RGT this month and will be in the sim next month. He WILL be current by 2011. Calm down a bit. If you look at the MEC minutes over the last year or so you will see that this issue has NOT gone unnoticed, especially with the reps all flying full lines + union work. Look at other MEC's... they buy off a ton of folks and "pick up" some trips to stay current. That sham won't work here. I know you are ****ed, so are 1249 other folks.
