Appreciate your voice on the this venue, but action is whats needed. This battle is bigger then just Midwest, it's about who will be flying the next 100-130 seat aircraft and for what pay and benefits. This is an industry battle and all pilots should be paying close attention because it could be your job next. This will be how the Feeders take over the Majors.
I made it up there as well, although I think I was the only one from my company. A shame really, considering our MEC leadership sent out an e-mail asking for us to attend. . .and to be the only one up there. . .aah gee - thanks guys.
Nevertheless, met a lot of great people who have a lot of determination in fighting this to the end. Best of luck.
