It sure looks that way. But the reason is the complete dysfunctionality of the MEC administration and complete irrelevance of Donatelli. It's apparently even worse than what was happening when the MEC administrators were scheming to cut Kingsley Roberts' throat. One side of the dysfunctionality is doing the end-around because they see the dysfunctionality as doing damage to the pilot group. The other side is leaking it because they see doing an end-around of our democratic process (again) as doing damage to the pilot group.

It sure is.

We are sure enough still 10-9, but 10-9 in favor of the surrender early crowd.

The guy in charge now was just an SPC member before, but your point is valid. It's the same anti-democratic crowd that keeps finding their way back to the pig trough...no matter how many times reps fire them.

10-9 always in favor of surrender. We're so close...but so far.
