Sorry, but the reps are supposed to represent the collective interests of their pilot constituents. The whole premise of staging a haphazardly put together TA as a way to strengthen our bargaining position is comical at best and irresponsible at worst.

I believe the entire notion is a way for reps to distant themselves from a bad decision in an attempt to use implausible deniability to keep their offices.

The MEC and negotiators should have done a better job of conveying our pilot groups’ interests to the company.
