Ok, but if the MEC chairman is accountable to the LEC reps if he starts to go his/her own way, No?
Is the same not true of the LEC reps and it’s membership? Of course it is.
They aren’t elected to be king. A representative is, at his/her core, there to
represent me and my fellow pilots. There are exceptions, but I generally expect them to follow the will of their constituencies.
