Jack Bauer would have seen this as a hostage situation and taken out the perpitrators within the first 5 minutes.
Agreed; that MEC breached its fiduciary duty to the pilots it represented. It was under the heavy influence of "outsourcing is good." Who knows, I think Moak had a handshake deal to facilitate the Compass give away and the 76 seat grievance which allowed more airplanes to arrive just in the nick of time to replace us. These days the ugly business of selling junior members' jobs is done out of sight.

I have much higher level of confidence in our current Reps than their predecessors. It is unfortunate that this MEC must now pay for others' representational malfeasance.
