So the question is: If they continue in those leadership positions...who is doing the dividing sailingfun?

I was about to defend Sailing with the thought that maybe you had misinterpreted his post, but then I saw his reply.
I thought the group Sailing was referring to as "dividing us" was the leadership that used all the spin it could muster to get this TA over 50.01% Apparently I was wrong.
But that's the group that I am concerned about right now. If the MEC Chairman was willing to use scare tactics, shut down fellow pilots in crew lounges just for sharing outher LEC literature, spin, cut short the 60 day period, spin, etc. etc, .... well, I'm sorry, but I don't trust a man who's ego (and personal gain?) pushed him to put the interests of the pilot force second to anything else. He has shown that with all the data, surveys, communication assets, staff, money, and resources he would not listen to the will of the pilot group, and even then failed at getting his top priority accomplished--he failed himself; he failed the company, and most importantly he failed us. Why has he not stepped down? Ego and objectives that run counter to the pilot group desires will not magically vanish overnight--he can not be trusted and must go.
