He is the poster child for an internet tough guy. He provides nothing of substance EXCEPT what he thinks you should do. Remember the remark I made about him having his sights on the MEC in the future, well, word on the street is he has gone after the Scheduling Committee chairmen.
Trust your reps. Daniel knows who I am and can verify I will not steer you in the wrong direction. MW is the guy to speak to. He is a good guy and is very knowledgable. Beware of the guys who are here just to bust you balls, JP is at the top of the list.
Yup! Seabat took care of me when I was a new hire. Showed me the ropes, educated me with ASA and went out of his way to answer my questions. He didn't have to but he did.
Did a 4 day with him too, one of the best guys (of many) I flew with at ASA. Showed me some pretty good tech. in flying the CRJ and was patient. Like our nice close tight visual on the 1st day! (HATE THOSE) He is one of the CAs out there that remembers what it was like to be in our shoes. I also flew with MW before and met him at the ALPA meeting. He is the one heading our furlough committee.
Our union is only as good as the leaders we vote to lead it.
