We are probably going to be in grieve it mode due to the simple fact that our MEC has tied it's own hands with the MEMRAT rope. Management is effectively outmaneuvering this process by getting their "transparency" and "eagerness to negotiate" on the record.

Oh and in the middle of all of this, our MEC fires the best scope guy at our disposal (twice), management hires him as a Director at VP Pay. We respond by hiring our fifth new Scope Chairman in two years while renegotiating the most vital and complex part of our PWA.

We are acting like we have absolutely no idea what we are doing. With a subject matter expert on the job for a week, that is not really a surprise, is it? There were excellent choices (not me) in the running; we did not choose any of them because of social media politics is more important to the selection than the product delivered to the Delta pilots.
