Yes I went. Started off cordial and then it got pretty heated. Dave Webb and Derek Martin were there. Talked about age 65 and how this was Prater's agenda when he got elected to National. A lot of his comments were how he had to protect seniority by introducing the amendment for retro-activity. That's when the fireworks started. He said "your seniority number wouldn't be worth the paper it's printed on" without it. He kept bringing up what appeared to me as "DW and the MEC knows better" than 75% of the pilot group. His numbers not mine.

He talked about the slowdown in the economy and how we should have our finances in order for the next two years.

He talked about the 757/flex issue. The company is doing everything by the contract and these guys should not expect to be paid widebody pay.

There was a lot of finger pointing and DW doing his typical "go ahead and hit me in the chest with those fingers--I know you want to--come on".

I left when he started the old line of recall your block reps and then they can recall the MEC. I'm not going to walk this pilot force over a cliff. Go ahead and elect someone that will.

The meeting was going on well past 2am. I saw a few other forum members there--maybe they'll elaborate.
