So maybe we'll see more action on resolutions now rather than being "received".
If you look at the history of this MEC over the last 18 months, I do not believe that one resolution has simply been received. They are voting them up or down. Some need significant modifications to pass, but they are doing what they need to in drafting committee to get the will of their pilots pushed though. Of course there are some reps that do this more than others, but the body as a whole has been doing above average on this item.
The true test is the opener, a extension, modification and the final product which is the TA from any of these. If it falls short, this pilot group will boil over. What I have read on this forum is indicative of the cross section of this group. The middle of the road here is the middle of the road throughout this group. Expectations are high, and they should be. It is our first non-concessionary full section 6 in a decade.
