This is funny!!! since he was at the BOD last year at the Diplomat enjoying his suite at your expense as well; he was having the time of his life... He was drinking with the same people he is accusing of abusing policy. I don't think this is unique to the Eagle MEC it is more representative of the union as a whole and unless they overhaul all policies it will not change. I sincerely doubt that there is any reason other than add fuel to the fire to an already beaten down pilot group. I am outraged as well; however, if you are going to throw stones at your own house make sure that it isn't made out of glass... I honestly don't see the good in anything that has been said so far and it does cause me some concern that the same guy who was drinking lavishly at the BOD is now say "what an abuse"... I guess if it is on other people's dime it's OK (Delta, United, Alaska and all other regionals) I would honestly love to see that this MEC gets something done instead of fighting and playing with an already demoralized pilot group....
