It isn't personal and I don't hold a grudge, but it is what it is. Slow, if you, or Alpha, were close to the bottom and saw the risk of your job being outsourced, or worse, being outsourced when management decides they want to merge leaving you on the curb, you would feel the same way about your representation. If we become Delta pilots at Compass, we'd prefer to be represented by our MEC.

You might be comfortable with your seniority, that this will never effect you. But our MEC represents us all and has a duty to not leave a handful of members out simply because they have issues that the MEC does not want to deal with. Remember, the NWA MEC created this thing BUT the Delta and Compass pilots will bear the brunt of the representational abandonment.

The Chair and the MEC do 90% of their jobs well. But they did screw this up. I'm over it, it is done and I support my MEC - but - the real risk to my job remains. We're out over the ocean without a raft. Hope you're right and the flight maintains altitude.
