History shows and demonstrates that management is very good at manipulating pilots. bury your head in the sand.....NO. use other methods and resources to get, verify, validate, and compare information. ....yes Management can and will use this position against us. They will leverage you and let you think you are in the club house and have a key to the executive washroom. The risks outweigh the benefits.

We are not limited in how, when, where, and by what method we gain intelligence. A seat on the board blurs the lines and that is a perception we as pilots can't afford as it tends to also erode unity, especially if this pseudo-board member ends of talking the talk and walking the walk that management espouses.

The union is the union. Management is management is management.

The MEC all sign confidentiality agreements, and therefore have the access they need for the information they need. At the end of the day we need unity above all things. Management won't really feed our pretend board member anything meaningful, other than what they want him to feed on and chew on.
