On another note, what does everyone think about the new MEC?
First off, they aren't going to put pilots back online because we are canceling flights. Their goal is to cancel flights, which is why the schedule keeps getting smaller. They have clearly thought this out and I'm sure they are well aware that by furloughing pilots, during the transition we will be understaffed.
As far as the new MEC goes, I am not a GO ALPA guy, but I think he will do a much better job than the last MEC. ML has fought for me twice and I was pleased with his work and professionalism both times. He has a backbone and I think he will keep everyone in the picture, not just the guys at the top.
