Some may call this "communication." Others of us call this propaganda. So far, it appears that the MEC is on a mission of self-aggrandizement. "Look at all we're doing for you." Yet, the MEC has still not addressed the core issues facing the pilot membership right now: optimizer, purity, FDA sweetening by the Co. outside of negotiations, Bid cancellation, etc. The MEC needs to gets serious about something besides trying to convince us that over 60 guys bidding the front seat at the earliest opportunity is the most important issue, and has been good for us all.

And what about the boldface lie concerning the "inevitability" of the Age 60 rule passing in one paragraph from our latest Magazine, then in the very next paragraph, an admission that ALPA changed its stance in opposition to the memberships' desires. An unbelievable admission of culpability couched in terms of "we saved you guys from yourselves." Pure Horse Manure!

Finally, if this Union takes my hard earned money and endorses in immoral candidate for President, like Hillary, then I too may have to cancel my membership on moral grounds. ALPA should not be in the business of endorsing political candidates, certainly not Presidential candidates whose job is far more important for the country than a particular stance on a particular labor issue!

Waiting patiently for something concrete out of this MEC and ALPA National while they continue to redistribute the wealth from the junior guys to the senior guys.
