The union isn’t ‘leaking’ anything. Sidebar and informal conversations happen frequently. We want them to happen. We want the union to have a good relationship with the CPOs office. In the recent past, the two have had an adversarial relationship because of our previous VP of flight ops “leadership” style. Fortunately, this is changing.

The LECs are meeting to elect a new MEC chairman this week; right? I would assume the new MEC chairman’s goal will be to present a unified front and will, hopefully, get all the LECs in-line together. I’m not too concerned about LEC in-fighting with a new MEC chairman. Good luck to us all.
