I recall talking to a few reps that said if pay, scope, or working conditions were greatly altered that it would go to MEMRAT.

As for MEMRAT of LOA's, we can get that, but we would probably have about 20% of the group vote on them. It is a great idea, but first the pilot group as a whole needs to be willing to vote on em. Heck most people do not know that Military Charters can be assigned to reserves now.
There is NOTHING to stop them from selling scope via LOA and no MEMRAT...absolutely nothing. Reps laughing at the suggestion is a long way from a bylaw that prevents it. We have NO SUCH BYLAWS. We don't even have a policy against it.

Yet another reason my DPA card is in.
