Im quite sure you would be screaming bloody murder if the company violated the CBA and caused you some harm, yet you dont seem to be bothered when the company turns a blind eye to the CBA if it puts more money in YOUR pocket. Its a bit naive of you to think that doesnt affect any of your fellow pilots.

My point on you volunteering is this...If you believe the MEC or elected LEC reps are not representing the pilot group properly, and you also believe that your opinions regarding our "oppressive" union are true and shared by the majority, why not run for an elected position. You'd surely have a enough votes to get elected, right??
It's easy to point fingers. We all do it. But I agree with Scott, participation its a huge portion of this system. If we thought this was such a bad place, with such a bad contract, what are we doing here?, why are we getting "veteran new hire" pilots flocking this way?, can't blame "nobody's hiring" anymore!....

I'm pretty sure that the other options, (non union) carriers would not make any "ex NK" pilot's carrier any easier or better for that matter.

We visited this stuff several times after the contract, nothing to see here, move along and get ready for the next one.
