It makes more sense what Buddies is saying. The MEC knows about these airplanes or other things that will affect every pilot at Eagle. If so they should be telling us. It makes sense why the sudden change on their stance from NO to let the pilots decide. They get rid of the responsibility if this junk doesn't pass, while still looking good. Pure political games.
We need to demand for answers.
It was explained by the NY reps in their base blast. Basically, AAG management, the ORD reps, and AETC reps did not believe that the rest of the reps represented the will of the majority of the pilots. Management thinks that it will pass a pilot vote and that the "No" reps are blocking their progress in cheapening our profession. The "No" reps abstained from voting rather than voting yes and appearing to support the TA. It is now up to us as a pilot group to stop this downward spiral and prove that those "No" reps DO represent our wishes.
