So after much speculation, PDT MEC put out an update as to why he did not sign the current FFDC letter. Without getting into all the details, our MEC chairman was not present at the meeting where the letter was drafted and had several questions before he felt he could endorse such a letter. His main problem was how vague the letter was. There was no real purpose to it other than to make fact-less statements. It was filled with empty promises. He sited several similar letters where each had a tangible goal in what they were trying to accomplish and how they would try and move forward, most recently a very similarly worded document drafted by the FFDC from August 2013. He also stated we are not against a unified approach to better regional pilots however making vague promises without stating concrete goals is useless and a failure to those pilots the MEC represents.
