Your MEC and elected leaders. They truly do chase their tails in a circle while the other side of the table watches in dis-belief.
S.E and C.S are running for MEC Chairman and Vice Chairman for our group. I respect your willingness to serve and admire the fact that you take action to advance a pilot group, but the simple matter is this. Both of you do not have the leadership skills, for sight, or strategies to advance our pilot group where we want to go.
Once this SLI is over we move to elections. I hope all the Pinnacle pilots can take past examples into account when they cast their votes for elected positions.
Why don't we wait until the list comes out to see who were the best leaders for their respective pilot groups. I think all these disputes were a political play by the XJ MEC to delay the inevitable and paint the 9E guys in a bad light and solidify more votes from Colgan. My guess, they see the writing on the wall and the only way to gain support is to make the other guys look worse than they do. Don't you think there is a reason the communications from the XJ and 9L MECs have thrown 9E under the bus at every oppourtunity? Then again, maybe you are one of them so...
