It doesn't matter who we've elected Bar. The MEC administration runs this show and we didn't elect them. Your 4 LEC reps are strong proponents of being a rubber stamp for the MEC administration. My reps vehemently disagree, but are in the minority. Thus the anger and disunity on our MEC. It's absolute tyranny of the majority on the MEC right now and it's being enabled by the four ATL reps. My only question is whether those four really represent the majority view of ATL based pilots.

Our negotiators do NOT have that now Bar and it's a totally self-inflicted wound. They've chosen to be part of the strategy of ruling top-down in an organization that advertises itself as bottom-up. A minority of our reps are fighting that hard. I support that 100%. The majority shows no sign of compromising in any way with the minority. They're only trying to actively crush them. Utterly dysfunctional.

It is this mindless jingoism that has brought us to where we are. It is in our best interest for the MEC administration to operate in and cultivate a bottom-up culture. They refuse. And they send out people like you to convey veiled threats against anything other than supporting the MEC administration.
The fight's on between the jingoists and the bottom-ups Bar. You guys are counting on the continued apathy and dejection of the pilot group. You guys might be right, but we'll see.
