I can't help but be a little nervous about the timing on this. I have to say, however, that it seemed that outside of a small circle of guys, the old MEC leadership was not liked by most of the line guys. They were viewed as a "good ole boys" club which was not interested in communicating with the pilots. They were viewed as a group that thought of themselves as the "ruling class".

I suspect that small circle is going to rise up and fight this. I just hope this doesn't turn into a world class sh*t show that jeopardizes contract negotiations.
