This completely ignores what happened with C2012. Unity and pilot participation had no bearing on what happened. The NC ignored the clear demand of our reps not to sign a TA that had reduced profit sharing in it. The NC signed the TA anyway and dared our reps to vote it down. My reps clearly stated that TA 2012 did not meet the standard set forth by the pilots' survey results. Complete and total dysfunctionality within our MEC.

Again, nothing to do with unity and pilot participation. We have unity now and about the same level of participation that we always have. Will that matter to this MEC? Who knows. I think the only thing that will matter to this "union" is a serious realization that this group will stand up to the MEC's massive fear campaign and vote down a TA that is not "the best pilot contract in the world."
