I'm going to preface this post with the fact that I've just gotten back from my favorite "watering hole" and watched the Seahawks dash the playoff hopes of the Brett Favre....re......re .....re and the NY Jets in the snow!!!!! I know, the Jets can still make it but it was good to see the Hawks win Holmgrens last home game!

I went to the Council 54 meeting on the 8th and Ken was there. I did not talk to him personally but he seems genuinely concerned about making sure that everyone knows the contract and we all enforce it to the best of our ability. He seemed very frustrated with the lack of communication between the pilot groups.

Who knows why this lack of communication is happening. There are usually to sides to every issue (my way and the wrong way!!!) and who knows what the problem is but it looks like we will have one MEC about the third week of next month and hopefully communication will pick up then or before.

Having listened to him at the ALPA meeting, I do hope he continues to be an advocate for the entire pilot group.
