Speaking of track records? How long have you been following B. Bartells union work and did what he did ever effect you negatively?
This is not about the merger. My earlier NWA comment wrongly alluded to that and I take it back. This is about the approach going forward. IMO the current MEC tends to be overly militant. The old guard tended to go overboard with proactive engagement. JM seems to hit in between both extremes perfectly. Firm but reasonable using scientific methods. As do the 44 Capt Reps.
BB hasn't done anything to effect me negatively. From what I've heard he's a top notch pilot advocate and you wouldn't want anybody else as your rep if you have to do a carpet dance. He has my full support now he's elected. It's just my opinion that 44 needs to go with more reasonable FO reps don't have to be in lockstep with the Capt reps but at least on the same page.
