The CAL MEC has risen to the occasion however by agreeing to support the plan by JH that will lead to a JCBA. The one caveat being that they still need to see the plan and agree that it makes sense. Is that so much to ask?
By the way, JH tipped off Jeff well before JP started "whining." The moment that JP announced HIS decision it was pretty well evident that he hadn't consulted JP. Imagine if he had consulted JP and if THEY had issued a joint statement. I believe it is called Unity.
I let you slide on the rest, but how was it evident that JH hadn't consulted JP beforehand?
Why not have joint MEC meetings after or before the regular individual MEC meetings? JP won't go for it, but it would show unity. May even be a good idea for the UAL MEC to notify all members of the CAL MEC of it's intent to act instead of just JP. JP won't be able to deny the communication if all the CAL MEC knows.
