I've had quite a few opportunities to interact with CAL pilots and they have all been great. Especially on a NYC layover around Christmas

There is a fine line we need to walk. We should not allow the pilot groups to splinter or become combative because of leadership failures. The bottom line is that the pilot groups have CONTROL of our leaders! We need to ask them pointed questions and demand that they act in OUR best interest. How we get there is beyond me. Let's give the MC and MEC's time to decide on the direction that they want to lead. Then they need to communicate that clearly to the membership.

Right now we feel like our 4ship is committing downrange against a gorilla package and we're not sure of the 4ship on right will execute the bracket as briefed. In the last engagement they skated early, RTB'd and drank all the beer in the bar.
