EFBs were issued, our lives got easier, and we waited another 4-5 years for a CBA, still without an EFB LOA.
The rest I generally agree with, as far as lack of execution goes. Except that I believe lack of unifying behind one another is the biggest reason we are nowhere. And the company trying to force pilots to fly sick should have been made an even bigger deal by the MEC, it should have been on the local news. Why should we not rally against the company pilot pushing?
Well, according to 167, the company could actually implement AQP on their own if they wanted to. This is one of the things the different LECs are arguing about. 167 sent a very detailed and comprehensive email a couple of days ago addressing facts vs misinformation in a variety of issues. I tend to believe what was said in that email.
