I was waiting for the personal attack. You did not disappoint. Some people never change *sigh*

To set the record straight, I never "joined forces with JB". He and I happened to agree on this one issue, which should tell you something since we don't agree on much.

We agreed that the contract was originally supposed to be a QOL bump and it was foolhardy to turn it into a $$$ bump. We predicted we would price ourselves out of the game (that prediction seems to be coming true). We called on the MEC to wrap it up and put it out for vote.

What really polarized us on the issue was being told by the junior FO rep (in front of witnesses) [quote] "We know it would pass, but we won't put it out. The pilots are stupid and don't know what's good for them". It appears the union still has this opinion since your own Wilson polling shows the pilot group overwhelmingly opposes PBS, yet they endorsed negotiating it.

I know who you are. Actually quite a few people do. It would serve you, your committee, and the MEC well to sign your name to your posts, or keep your mouth shut on the forums, lest you kill whatever shred of credibility this MEC has left. Especially since you had a large part in this decision to negotiate it. Hiding behind a screen name and sniping the MEC's opponents, hoping to kill their credibility, is no way to have an open dialog about such an important issue.
