I don't hate MM. Nor did I want him to unsuccessful as the MEC. However if we set aside who we like personally and objectively look at the performance MM has not been good. He is not good at the job. Meetings, communications, airport sits, the fractured Union, Status meeting, the Bus, pressuring the company, the 70,000$ loss for the meeting in Virginia because two LECs couldn't be bothered to show up. Don't get me started about the "family awareness events" This is currently not a well run Union. I am 100% in on high turnover on our leadership until we find someone who is effective.

The weak state of our Union IS part of the reason so many pilots are leaving. The fundamental belief that nothing will change. These pilots are not wrong. There is no Unity ,Cohesion ,or Direction. Last time I check the current ALPA Lanyard says "Ready to Strike" not "Don't bother negotiating because the company is not making any money"

It's long past time for some new blood at the F9 ALPA leadership. Personally I want people from outside of Denver in those positions. It's become to much an old boys club, which is fine if the performance is there, but the performance is not there. Course Corrections need to made.

There is a lot of things that could put pressure on the company where they would see value in a new CBA for the Pilot group that fall short of any RLA action. It doesn't take much imagination. I want an MEC that is going to find that line and have us all stand on the edge of it Until we can "develop an appetite for further collaboration."
