I know I'll be paying very close attention. The no-furlough language in the present contract is the only thing keeping me employed, and I'm concerned that some of the more senior captains would through the junior guys under the bus in order to increase their block hours like the "good old days." This election matters, pure and simple.

In addition, the furloughed guys only received a call from the MEC asking if they needed any help or had any questions the last week of August. These guys have no idea why they paid dues if their union barely acknowledges they even exist.

A shakeup is in order.
