Serious Answer:

My expectations for the MEC is to deliver on the last 2 items, but I won't hold my breath...

My expectation for my Reps is to represent my interests vs the company and the MEC, I can say that one of my reps rocks, the other one not so much.

The guy that rocks has my back, he will represent my interests and understands that he serves to represent pilot interests. He calls back often within minutes. He deserves every penny and more.

When there's elections it is easy to give a speech and have a platform, but to be an effective Rep and do the business for the pilots is a more than full time job. The compensation hardly is sufficient.

Then are others that think their only job is to represent MEC/DALPA/ALPA to the pilots. Those guys shouldn't be there.

Cheers
George
