That’s the short version. They’re worried he gets re-elected and that they’ll be stuck working with him. Rather than make an enemy they needed a fingers off way of letting the pilots know. I offered to help.
What needs to happen if he doesn’t immediately resign or withdraw from the election (which is what they expected him to do) is for the MEC to call a special MEC meeting by teleconference for the sole purpose of approving and releasing the meeting minutes before the election is over.
Once in power, one rarely gives it up willingly. The smaller the power, and the person, the more true this is.
