I'm assuming you're responding to me. I agree, Moak is worthless to regional pilots (honestly, to all pilots). He is fostering good relationships between management and pilots, at the expense of pilots. He tries to act neutral, but his actions are negative to pilots. We're in agreement there.

At the same time, it isn't his job to help MECs through the negotiations process. He's far above basic management of his airlines' MECs. He's too busy furthering his political agenda on Capitol Hill. Further, no one at national assumes that managerial type role to each MEC. The MECs operate as I described above (cities; federal government).

I haven't pulled the ladder up on anyone, as I'm still climbing it. I've been in the industry nearly 10 years at the regional level, and spent an eighth of that in the left seat. I'm concerned with raising the bar, and outing those individuals at select airlines who have greedily and stupidly set our industry even further back in a time of prosper at the major airlines.

Moak and the other morons at National aren't directly to blame for these agreements. Sure, they should have stepped in when concessions were put on the table, but the Negotiating Committees and MEC entertained, and agreed to these concessions. Just because no one told them not to isn't a valid excuse. These are adults, who have been entrusted to make wise choices (on their own accord) on behalf of their pilots. They did not do that. Instead, they have done them (and all of us) a great disservice by acting foolishly.
