I've flown with CA Thompson several times in the past year. I am really glad he chose to get back into union service and was very happy to hear about his election to MEC Chair. He's a nice guy, pleasure to fly with, well spoken and articulate, and likes to play poker. Not just good but a Great choice in my opinion. Several people approached him and asked him to step forward just in the few days I was flying with him. Glad he answered the call.
