And by the way, I think you have it backwards. It is the MEC who is responsible for representing the collective desire of the pilot group. The pilot group in no way owes support to an MEC who goes this far off the rails.

If the MEC wants a united pilot group he should invest more effort into polls, surveys, etc. which measure the desire of the pilots to take such extreme measures instead of sending out polls asking for ammo for the campaign which has already been decided on.



The MEC better hope his hair-brained idea works. All the company has to do now is just continue to hold out and watch the pilot group divide itself as the MECs actions only continue to worsen the problems for all of us. Then when the MEC comes up for re-election he will find himself in a classroom getting ready to go back to flying.

If the MEC wants to unite us this is not the way to do so.
