I'm unaware of that too. I'm also unaware of how many pilots in our Union don't have a frickin' clue on how their own union works.

What I am aware of is the number of pilots who attend both MEC and LEC meetings. On average, it's less than 10 in the peanut gallery with me at MEC meetings and about 5 out of 900 at the LEC meetings. Maybe if our pilots attended more meetings, they'd have a better understanding of how our Union works. Even teleconferences, which have proven to be very popular, usually average about 100 listeners out of 2800. Given that 2/3's of our pilots are working and completely unavailable (although we know some are in hotels or on sits), that still leaves over 700 pilots who don't give a **** about what their own union is doing. This wouldn't bother me except when they chime in with their opinions on unions matters which reveals their deep cluelessness on how our union operates and functions.

That's correct. Once my membership expired last year, I ceased splashing around in there.

Yes, the Sith Lords are still active. Mostly they keep dragging it out with various motions and fishing expeditions which only serves to cost me more money ($8500 so far) since there is nothing to find. My lawyer keeps pushing for a summary judgment since the Sith Lords have consistently failed to provide even a shred of proof that they were wronged. The depositions and other statements are on the web. Search around and read it for yourself. It'd be pretty funny if it wasn't costing me so much money and, IMHO, wasting donations of a hundred or so Eagle pilots on a frivolous pursuit.
