I agree that if the officers cannot do as they are told by the MEC then they are forgetting who is actually in charge and need to be replaced immediately. The NC works for the MEC so as long as they can do as told then there is no reason to replace them. I want the best contract this pilot group has ever seen (sadly that's not much of a goal) too, but a long drawn out negotiation does nothing but take money out of our pockets. If that happens then I'm doing my best to get out of this dumpster fire and go somewhere that pays pilots well.

As for Jason. If truly only represents the 26%ers then he needs to go too. I don't think Tim is that way but some of Jason's comments suggest he does. I fly with 26%ers all the time and while they are mostly good people they are off their rockers with their priorities. They just want to be available to the company for constant over time and jrm. They they don't care if we get paid shiit because they'll work right up to the FARs to compensate.
