Don't forget their apparent refusal to schedule a domicile meeting that has the possibility of forcing a sympathetic MEC lackey out of his LEC job. I think they've been requesting that meeting for 3 or 4 months now, but hey, it's a great gig if you can get it. I recall the previous MEC chair went 7 years without having to jump through all the technical and medical hoops to keep his job..........didn't touch an airplane. 95 hours of pay for what ever you can hold in any domicile is also a nice touch, along with all kinds of expense reimbursement and every holidays at home.

Is it any wonder why several of those in the senior officer positions and on the negotiating committee have been in those positions for perhaps 10 years, while Eagle pilots continue to stagger forward increasingly empty-handed ?

If you guys had something to show for it, that would be one thing, but what you DO have to show for it is apalling. Personally, I think the fix is in with that group and they're worse then the previous "Texas Mafia".
