Agreed. Why else would they call for the recall of the MEC Chairman? If you are going to completely restructure the way the LEC's & MEC do business FOR the benefit of ALL pilots, how can ONE base force their agenda? On the other hand, if you have three bases that don't like the way SEA LEC is doing business they could block w/ their votes. I think all was ok when they had LAX & ANC voting one way and SEA the other...But now that you add PDX their is clearly an advantage to the smaller bases if they were to join together. I'm not sure of the right way to do it, but what just got shoved down the throats of the LEC's isn't the way to go.
Baja.
BTW - An ALPA memo isn't internal mail, neither is a mass email from VP of flt ops or the pres...ease up.
