Serious question, anyone have an idea what percentage of LEC/MEC officers are commuters? I know that company-wide the percentage of commuters is 55%. I'd be pretty surprised if even 1/3 of our elected officers company-wide are commuters. I'd like to think they represent the interests of all our pilots equally on all issues, but they are not immune to human biases. I like the LEC officers I've met so far on a personal level and trust that they are dedicated to the group as they see it. But, I haven't seen a lot of commuters at the LEC meetings I've made it to.
