Thank you!!! I've said that for quite some time now!!! That's all it is anymore!!!
[quote=TristarJS30;403190]Right now the MEC likes to fire off at the mouth to "rile up the troops," but unfortunately, the last MEC has left most of us feeling apathetic. I mean seriously... the knucklehead award? Offending the company isn't going to help things.
Obviously there are a lot of people that agree with you as they have voiced that same concern over the union boards. What a stupid thing!

And yes... I'm against the merger fund.
On another note, I like what RiddleEagle said a few pages back. What will the MEC fight for in terms of trips? What they want to do? I'd rather they (ALPA) do it, because noone else will like the same trips I like, but I think they themselves should take a poll of the pilot group that they represent, and build trips accordingly. Or, if they feel lazy, just report the findings of their own survey to the company.
Agreed!!!

I'm sure most people don't want that, which is why single surveys are useless. The pilot group as a whole should be represented here... with what the pilot group wants.
Exactly!! I agree with everything you have said!
