The LEC Office is the meeting point for these activities. Where are we supposed to brief for an upcoming meeting ... Starbuck's? Yeah, that's really where I want to discuss something that might be embarrassing, or effect another pilot's privacy.

As we prepare for a contract and as we engage in a representational battle, it would seem we need the resources we've got.
I agree, and since the DALPA MEC/LEC is under budget by about $250k per MONTH....I'd say that they are extremely judicious with our funds. LEC office space is a VERY good idea, and keeping S/T's is also, IMHO.

DALPA has a SMRA of $8.5 Million(and growing daily)...... while UALPA/CALPA are at $0 in the "savings account" and asking for MCF funds......
