Also one of those casting the vote of yes for ORD was an unelected representative, because the F/O ORD rep resigned because he could not put up anymore with the BULL from the ORD Capt. Rep Glenna.
So all in all we have been placed in this position by 3 pilots. The pilots at Eagle if they can see past there fear and past there selfishness will realize this will not stop management from coming back next year and doing the same thing. Because we have a contract good for another 7 years and that did not stop them this time, why will passing this AIP/TA stop them from coming next year to do the same thing.
Be Prepared, Be Strong and VOTE NO
No!!! you are wrong again. We are here because six reps abstained and those abstentions are the reason why we are here staring at this TA. All of you that used to talk badly about the MEC are now defending it. I can only see what you and your friends in this forum have said before and I don't like your flip flopping. There had to be something truly negative coming down from management that they let this thing come out to the pilots. The question is why? Chest pounding from DFW and NY and MIA was just that peacocking at its best. To me those guys lost any credibility after abstaining. ORD and AETC are lost causes but what happened to the others is just sad. They were our only hope.
I don't buy the "we succumbed to Alpa national and management pressure". That is the biggest lie after obamacare.
They know something and they will not say it and that just validates that our MEC is playing major politics once again.
