As I've said before, don't bother writing your reps on this issue - write to the MEC Chairman. Our union is a one man show, and right now, the chairman thinks RJ's are GOOD for Delta Air Lines.

Carl,
I agree with you that communication with the MEC is not only a great idea, but will be required. I just need to get over the fact that Lee Moak, personally assured me on several occasions that we would not let scope slide beyond 70 seats, now here we are, looking at the possibility of the remainder of our narrow body flying going away. I don't see this as an overstatement.

So Carl, with all respect, what kind of mind-set should I take when communicating with the MEC, when the trust has been violated in such a way. How can I change my mind set to hold these guys responsible for representing me and my fellow line pilots?

I am sincerely asking you for the beginning of a strategy for holding our union accountable. Thanks in advance.
