So the Union is supposed to represent the wants of the pilots. If the majority of the pilots want this merger fund gone and dispersed to members, and we are loud about it, shouldn't the union do as its members wish? Isn't that what we pay them for? I've been watching the Delta TA fairly closely, and their pilot group spoke. The union tried to tell the pilots what is best for them, and they said hell no with a resounding majority no vote. I wish we at Mesa would stand up to the man (and the union) and stop taking some of the crap (like this stupid merger fund). Assess the money when it's needed. I would guess a small fraction of those who pay into the fund will actually benefit from it when and if it is needed. Where is the outcry besides that one chap who brings it up every conference call?
