If you're setting a new direction, you demonstrate it most effectively in conjunction with a change in leadership. I said that a new MEC Chairman being elected would be a great time to inject a more perfect message. New LEC officers are being elected as well, and we need to hear from them. This event creates a natural opportunity for the Delta pilots to be heard. This is useful, because it's best to be pertinent, if you want to be heard. Having some sort of a letter that doesn't relate to anything, or any event, just sends the message we are confused about our purpose.

Your comparison between leadership and marketing misses my point: they are different concepts, but it's useful to understand both. I'm suggesting we need a change in marketing to support the appointment of new leadership.

We both want a more effective message, right?
Good. It seems you and I agree on this. I just wanted to make the distinction that we should have been doing this all along. But since we are so close to a change in MEC Chairman (I hope), I agree that this is a good time to shift our focus in a new (more appropriate) direction.
