I said nothing of the kind.
It's an attempt to personalize the discussion and avoid substantive debate.
It's fine. I'm not offended. I just think it wastes time and bandwidth.
Sometimes it's amusing but there seems a little too much of it on this board lately.
Yo, erdude32, I'm not a rep.
Hmm, looks like I became rather infamous while out doing yard work today!
Check, it ain't personal, sorry you took it that way. I have no idea if the last TA did or did not meet the MEC's stated minimum (I wasn't there, were you?). The NC brought back a comprehensive agreement that they felt was the best they could negotiate and after 7 days of detailed and contentious discussion the MEC voted 14-5 in favor of sending it out to the pilot group.
How members (or other pilots who weren't there) have a theory that 14 (16 including the MEM reps), were "outmaneuvered" with a concerted plot, I just can't get behind that without proof. I've yet to read or hear anything other than conspiracy theories. No coherent set of facts to justify how 16 pilots were tricked/outplayed/whatever.... Until that can be clearly demonstrated, I stand by what I said.
