I would like to know who here isn't working for the Company.

I do contend that beliefs systems do vary, and need to be balanced by the freely nominated and elected representatives. You might live in a district represented by a Congreesman of another party (or no party like Sen. Sanders), but they are still your representative and vote in Congress for you. Same concept applies here (though I wish it wasn't necessary for our MEC to "pick sides"). The MEC can and should fight and argue behind closed doors, but when it comes to looking outward they should stand together. Showing a divided face and/or airing of grievances does NOTHING to negotiate us a new PWA that commensurate with the improved condition of our employer.

When the MEC doesn't keep its "poker face" to the public, the other side gains insight into what cards we are holding and whether or not we are bluffing. That isn't good for anyone Delta Pilot who wants more money and more time off.
