Don't understand why the MEC voted now. If they would have waited until until all the 747-2 were parked the vote would have not have been close. Loosing 4 LEC reps so it would have been 13-8 that looks a little better
There was more to that vote that meet the eye, or so I have been told.
Well National has voted, and it is what it is. Instead of looking in the rear mirror at what should have been done, lets look at how we can strengthen the bond with the new CPS MEC. I urge pilot at CPS that want a strong bond with DALPA to work very hard to get voted in. I know that we are talking Oct 2010, but if you do not like what you think may happen, get involved and run so you can represent your pilots best interests. If you allow four or five guys that you all seem to talk about, rule the roost you are going to be very upset at the results. You future and how you deal with it, is now in your hands.
I did not like the decision, but it is what it is, and it is not one that will be changed. Simply put, National made the decision, and now you must work for an effective MEC that will will represent your interests with vigor. Most of the CPS guys I talk to want to keep a close relationship with DALPA. Do not let people change that.
If you look at this decision and let it paralyze you, you will be ineffective. Look at it and see what good can come from it. You now will have a MEC that can work for your bests interests towards inclusion.
Like I said, this is a bump in the road, and we all can deal with it effectively.
