In light of the latest developments, I suggest our NC and MEC provide us with an update on their current asking position. No more hiding behind their excuses about negotiations in public. Every other airline tells their pilots what the general position is. They also release the results of the survey.

Furthermore I suggest our union organize an informational picket at all the major crew bases during the Thanksgiving holiday rush. Also, billboards at the same airports as the pickets. Perhaps even smaller ads inside the terminals.

If this current leadership is not willing to be more aggressive in our cause perhaps we need to seriously consider a change.
