Sounds like the MSP LEC Chairman does too. If you pin them down, I'll bet you'll smoke out a whole bunch more reps who think this.
Folks, we better all start asking a lot of questions and get a handle on this before we end up with another substandard TA and many more years of concessionary wages. And make sure you get specific answers. Some of these guys are real politicians and slicker than owl snot. Kinda like this guy...
Hey, I got a suggestion. If what has been stated is true about the MSP Chair, you have your chance this fall for the MSP pilots to elect a new Chair. His term is up March 1, 2012 and his election is this fall.
LAX and MSP are both up for new elections this fall.
That said, My interaction with both of the MSP Reps has been beyond reproach. I like both of them as people, and have witnessed thoughtful deliberation on a plethora of issues, in plenary.
