Absolutely not management, and never will be. I like my APU set to "make it snow" when I enter the cockpit. My agenda is clear and irreversible. I have secretly formed a correctly functioning and fully staffed MEC over the last 6 months that is not based upon elections, but rather on merit. As MEC chair, I might permit some LEC's to continue elections on a case by case scenario. Electing representatives has obviously resulted in horrible things, and 97% of the pilot group supports me in this effort. Join my newsletter for more info. We are ready to go, and as soon as the furlough mitigation fails, we are going to take over and fix everything.

This is the time. management is a skeleton, and has been weakened tremendously. They barely have time and the staffing to answer the phone for bagel delivery, and are outsourcing jobs like no tomorrow to inexperienced and brand new overseas offices. They're not going to know how to deal with The Gardener. I promise you a salary and work rules of your dreams.

Winston Churchill once said, "Some men change their party for the sake of their principles; others their principles for the sake of their party.” What he meant by this is that there comes a time in every man's life when great adversity knocks on your door, and each man must re-prioritize his principles and be in the correct party to accomplish great things. Now is that time, and my party is the future. We may never have this opportunity again to form the correct MEC structure.
