From the latest Council 20 (DTW) update, regarding the PERP...

The MEC received a thorough briefing at the Special MEC meeting. Numerous questions were asked and answered. Concerns were expressed and addressed. In the end, the MEC provided specific direction. Ultimately, we believe that agreements can be reached, especially relative to the retirement incentive plan that will benefit the pilot group.

Asked...answered. Expressed...addressed. In the end...specific direction. What questions? What concerns? What specifics, or specific direction, now that I think of it???? Sounds like something out of freakin' "Catch 22".

Tried every phone number I can find, and I still can't get an answer from anyone drawing union pay regarding the progress of the PERP. Most of the time I can't even get my phone calls returned.

Not sure about the rest of you guys, but I for one expect answers to my questions instead of platitudes delivered in a mass email from my seemingly absentee LEC reps....

(and I'm in the "militant" council... Jeez.)
