Any pilot employed at CJC that says they are unaware of what their MEC/ committees are doing.......is only unaware due to their own negligence. The information is distributed in multiple media forms. The MEC can only distribute the information......they can't make you read or listen to it!
I or no one is doubting the tremendous amount of time and effort the CJC MEC has done behind the scenes. Or all the tremendous support of line pilots from other airlines and ALPA National following the events of Flight 3407.
Although the MEC may behind the scenes politic any sort of disciplinary issues with a line pilot, they can still not legally represent one.
Should management decide to pull a line pilot for a disciplinary meeting the line pilot is left unrepresented.
Management is suspending pilots on a daily basis for anything they feel like. They suspend w/o pay and ask questions later.
