How do you preach unity, when all of your efforts are slinging mud at a body that appears to be functioning fairly well? You reference Crewbus commando....aren't you an APC commando?
It's getting old. You are management's wet dream.
Not sour grapes, I made a commitment to the pilots. I stand by my oath to them and I am involved.
As for the chair, I may not have been the right guy, but the current MEC chairman is the wrong guy. Sadly, we will all pay that price, but at least I stood to be counted. How about you?
I talk about membership involvement. You can't have unity if the pilots don't get involved. How many union meetings have you attended?
I talk to pilots all the time. The level of predetermined doom and apathy is what I am trying to correct. I simply ask for 1% of their time. Go to one meeting a year. Call your rep once a quarter. Write one email a quarter. Is that too much to ask to ensure an industry leading contract that treats us professionally and compensates us fairly?
If so, good luck. If not, take a stand and give 1%.
Lastly, unity is not do what we say of your a troublemaker. It is getting involved and having the complete discussion. How about this PUB call, no comments allowed, no asking our questions without their filter, no follow up.
So which side of that are you on?
