They almost slipped this one by me. I appreciate your post on this topic.
I am in total agreement with you. As a pilot who may eventually be leveraged into bidding an FDA, the MEC Chair will never speak for me in this manner. While I'm sure the MEC is keeping my best interests at heart, I think I'll keep my implementation voting rights. From what I was told about this implementation process is that the MEC wants the leverage to quickly negotiate small things. Personally, I see their point in the speed of the issue but I still cannot authorize someone to have that much power over OUR lives.
I voted: "NO"
