IMO, the only way that we will get the contract we want is for line pilot to start holding their reps accountable and recall them if they are not voting a certain way on resolutions or elections etc.

Most pilots do not seem to want to engage and most pilot expect someone else to carry the water. Until the majority of us realize that the only way you fix a mess is to get involved and demand change, the only thing that will change is the name on the door plaque.

I am a fan of you guys in DTW. They generally are very frank and open in their communication.

I also think that Tom's piece is a good read too. If anyone wants to read their news letter in full, they will need to get it from a C20 pilot since the last newsletter that was uploaded to the C20 website is from Oct 1,2010, a year ago.

This update also paid a very nice tribute to Bryan. Very impressive gentlemen.
