I think this is more of the company's fault than the MEC.
Yeah, that's the company being the company though. I kind of expected that behavior from them. The thing is that the MEC knew (from talking to committee members I flew with) that the company would do this and just shrugged. I was told by MEC members that PBS would not help the company unless they furloughed or there was massive attrition, so here we are!
Hey, good luck on your run at it - it really would be nice to see someone representing all of the FO's interests!
