This is an excerpt from Council 7's message this afternoon signed by TH and CB:
That put many of us in quite a quandary. Some were happy to just go with the polling numbers. Others felt that our job is tougher than that and requires us to do what is best given the facts at the time. This, then, drives the following questions- is this where we want to be as a union? Do we just want our elected body to reflect the current sentiments or do we expect them to give due consideration to all the facts in a case before we decide? Are our pilots ready and willing to trust their elected officials to perhaps take a different direction than the one indicated by the electorate who may not have all the data or the latest data? It’s a tough call. We look forward to getting input from you on this.
Is it really a tough call? Isn't it their job to communicate the "data" to the membership so an informed decision can be made?
I'll have to sit on this over the weekend and see how I feel about it...
