Do we have belligerent members? Of course. Bluepilots.com has a decent amount of belligerence. Does the MEC tone their message to appease this minority because they fear being removed from office? Absolutely not. That's a laughable assertion. They have polled the membership a number of times as well as have pilot to pilot guys out on the line to get the pulse of this pilot group.
I'm just repeating something I heard directly from a committee chairman. The recent shift in tone is due to an attempt to appease a specific demographic. Take it how you will. I trust the guy who told me that.
