Your problem is that the "sides" are lining up as follows: The old guard MEC administrators of which you're a proud member, and those that want the reps to control this union and its process. You're on the wrong side, which makes the rest of your post both predictable and sad. You want people to shut up. I want them to speak up. Even you. In fact, especially you. You give everyone a peek at what our reps deal with when they question the old guard MEC admin's.

You could rewind the L&G back to 2012, and plug about 150 pages right in this thing. It's predictable that any college-bound kid could predict the next communications from any given council.
And it hasn't done any good.
Moving forward, I think we have to unite around ideas that work, strategies that work, and decide on results. This pre-supposes 1) respect for the process, and 2) the right of the Delta pilots to decide for themselves based on actual language. That's the side I think we should all be on.
