The current push is to get committee members elected by the MEC so the "north" guys can reestablish their petty personal fiefdoms like their old MEC did. They started with the negotiating committee by insisting that they have 4 members with a "2 and 2" split. I guess half the negotiating committee represents me and the other half represents the "north" guys, wow that sounds like a great work environment to me.
The next push will be the MEC officer elections in August. Look for another manufactured outrage starting in June or July. They will stir up disunity and then demand that the only way to unify the pilot group is to give into the demands of the "north" reps.
By using the politics of personal destruction, the north reps are forcing the entire Delta MEC to bend to their will. They will continue to foster the persecution complex amongst the "north" pilots as long as they get their way. I have never seen a bunch of guys who got better work rules, better retirement, and a 20% raise in less than 2 years have such feelings of persecution.
Gee, my understanding was that the Moakastration's heavily pushed front runner was a South 'National Socialist" who was even unacceptable to many of his own pre-merger peers.
Didn't the N reps vote unanimously for another S Negotiating Committee Chairman? As I understand it the S reps have a numerical advantage in senatorial votes, so they only could have gotten 4 negotiators with the S reps support. Also interesting is the only MEC Chairman candidates I have heard discussed as viable by N reps in the fall are all S.
All reports I got from my reps was that the MEC reps were working very well together
despite the heavy handed arm twisting and manipulation by administration handlers and operatives. The most disgusting thing I heard was that these individuals were planting seeds of mistrust and doubt among reps who had hitherto been working side by side as colleagues to the end of getting "their" man and way on the negotiating committee.
The only fiefdoms I see are the ones of the administration with it's anointed committee chairs that are beholden to the MEC chairman for their place at the flight pay loss tit.
You foster disunity and divisiveness while accusing others of the same. Shame on you.
Now go back to doing bed checks on who is doing what in their personal time and dime.
