95% of what is posted in this forum is complaints about the TA. But as anyone who has ever led anything knows, the easiest thing in the world is to find faults in someone else's work. The REAL challenge is coming up with a solution for those faults. That is what I have been asking for time and time again. Know why I keep asking? Because for the most part, nobody has offered any viable answers. AS is a classic example of that. Her answer is...just vote no. Voting no is NOT a solution. It is a decision. But it's a decision that requires a follow-on solution. This is probably the first time in my flying career I've been associated with a bunch of guys who seem to have forgotten that the ride isn't over until you are in the chocks with the engines shut down.
I think the thing that has dumbfounded most of us is the fact that our elected representatives didn't see all of these items in the TA as problems.
Her draw is the fact that she seems to be in a small minority at the MEC who aren't tone deaf.
You're right, identifying problems isn't solving them - but it is most certainly the first step in the problem solving process. Ignoring problems or failing to identify them is a certain path to failure. A.S. made it to step one - that puts her in the lead MEC-wise.
