“Hey, Mr. Union Rep, we’ll be right back”
If 14,500 pilots could pinky swear not to repeat what they heard from this single board member, we might get to hear some interesting perspective. I'd bet the MEC gets more from him than we do, and that's fine with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't expect to hear anything from this lone board member other than what the board in totality wants the public to know.
I think his value is indirect to us regular pilot folk, but having a seat at the table (when he actually has one) doesn't hurt.
