The rules are in place to eject all the committee people, LEC reps, MEC hangers on... and all the rest of the entrenched people you love to hate. Heck, you have the power to pull the plug on their 87 hour "average" pay...you could even set it to zero.
It's right there, in black and white...published right on the MEC website. You have the means of FREE communication to oganize your little band of merry men...back in the day, the APA guys did it with long distance they had to pay for, and mimeograph machines that cost real money to operate.
You guys can't even put together a flash mob for the MEC meeting to tell them how you really feel because everyone is too busy with their side gig, home business, soccer practice, remodeling the den, or trimming the herbacious borders. So you reap what you sow, and have the nerve to complain about it when the very people you espose to hate poke you with a stick through the cage bars.
Real change requires real action, and not just a bunch of caterwalling on a free internet forum by a clutter of cats.
Man up, or sierra tango foxtrot uniform.

Have to agree with Nu here -
It would be nice if the level of whining on this thread could be reduced a bit. Most of us can agree - we are stagnating, our pay sucks, outsourcing is killing us etc. Repeating it daily will not make it go away -for the most part you are preaching to the choir on this forum.
I personally think the jury is still out on the new reserve system - lets give it a few months and see what happens. Standing by for incoming on this one.
One thing guys should remember is that most Pilots on out list have gone through the exact same thing at some point in their career.
Junior Guys - We have all seen tough periods in our careers although some things are unique such as the age 65 rule, stagnation, contraction, and backwards movement are not new.
Senior Guys - Give the junior guys some slack. These forums allow many thoughts that would never have been expressed back in 1992 to be seen by thousands instantly.
