Now we are waiting for a 300+ page document that will determine our lives for the next 7-10+ Years.
The MEC will likely vote yes on that, if the final language is as good as advertised. I know I will.
Not sure what the majority of you want, but it’s pretty damn clear, in this forum, the phrase “my MEC speaks for me” should be banned.
To rehash my previous posts: if you don’t like this AIP, Blame the NC/MEC. They came to an agreement with the company. I blame this company for a lot, but if this fails, it’s squarely because of the MEC.
Hint: it will pass, because reasonable folks like me (and the silent majority) will vote yes if the final language holds up.
To those pilots who won’t be happy, good luck in your future endeavors. Honestly. I hope you find what you are looking for.
I know for myself, and LOTS of other dudes, we didn't say "just be better than Alaska" in our surveys bud.
And we definitely didn't say that we "just need to be 5th out of the big-6 for almost the next decade" either.
This better be some AMAZING language....
