See if I've got this straight, removing the previous MEC chair and vice chair as we head into negotiations, good, and
would not destabilize things. Removing the new MEC as we head into negotiations, bad, and
would destabilize things. I think I've got it now.
If the previous MEC leadership was acting inappropriately and not following the LEC leadership, then they were removed accordingly. If the current MEC leadership acted inappropriately then they should be removed too. Any inquiries to ALPA National are just that, inquiries, no? If there's nothing there, then one would assume they have nothing to fear and they would welcome investigation to clear their name?
Sounds like you'd like sunlight shown on MEC folks you didn't like but you want cover ups on MEC people you do like. We need leadership in these positions that will look out for ALL pilots and be above reproach in all their actions. If leadership can't pull that off then show them the door. With all the accusations of LEC/MEC reps handing information directly to management, this NEEDS to be sorted out.
