Giving 100 seaters to DCI "temporarily" would be one such issue.

Nah, it'll be when he subcontracts all the 747-400 flying to World Airways MD-11's. Or makes a unilateral decision to ban commuting. That'll be what does him in....
Geez.....
even though none of the above is possible through the unilateral action of an MEC Chair....
This isn't intended as any type of slam, but I can't find a way to write it that can't be misconstrued. As a reminder the APC candidates of choice didn't do so well in the 44 election. Maybe 20 will be different. I greatly appreciate those that stood up and threw their hat in the ring to serve their fellow pilots even though I vigorously disagree with some of them personally and/or professionally. That said, communications policies aren't determined by the volume and intensity of postings on APC. APC and any forum form communities that have a built in self selecting bias. This forum, along with several others, does provide some utility in identifying concerns of some pilot members, as do calls to the Duty Officer and contact with your elected representatives. However, communications policy is in the hands of the MEC.
