Sorry, but this is a weak argument and easy scapegoat. The NC works FOR the MEC. The MEC gives direction to the NC on what they want done at the negotiating table. The NC brings back to the MEC the company proposals for further direction or the jigsaw piece that will solve the issue based on the MECs prior direction. IF a TA gets out to the pilots it’s with the backing of the majority of the MEC who are satisfied that the NC did the job they were directed to do by the MEC. Looking for someone to blame if there is a “no” vote as you describe? Look no further than the elected reps. I for one will never blame the NC for the product the MEC has final approval over for membership ratification. It’s obvious that there are those around the table who are unwilling or too scared to own this decision which is their responsibility as elected representatives of the pilots. Don’t fall for the trap of not holding your reps accountable and scapegoating the NC as some of them would love to see the pilot group do. Nope. The buck stops with them not the NC.
