Correct: on the L UAL side there is a history of a good working relationship between L UAL legal and the L UAL MEC. They seem to do what is required and seem to communicate and share info.
They also seem to both listen to their Military Relations Committee within ALPA (UAL MEC).
At CAL MEC, they traditionally ignore, marginalize, and minimize the input of their military laison chair.
The previous problems with B fund, etc occurred on ALPA's watch. They left their members to fend for themselves and their military members had to represent themselves. Now, new military chair, new MEC, same MEC Chairman and same legal advisors on both sides of the table, same result. Military members who pay dues get screwed again.
I don't think it's gonna fly this time. This bird is grounded.
