That's not some tidbit that can easily be slipped past us in a section that nobody looks at. I'm not a loyalist to Pierce, any of the reps, or even ALPA but I also don't believe in lynching anyone til I see a reason to get out the rope and start tying the knot. I'm not advocating blind faith in any of the above entities but you can't advocate blind hatred either. Show me the product.
It's make ready, take aim, and then fire. We can make ready. Hell we can take aim, but let's hold our fire until we have a reason to shoot and something to shoot at. Show me the product.
Unfortunately, here at CAL, it's almost always been fire, aim, and ask questions later no matter the consequences. A rep or MEC officer can't be in office more than a month and people are calling for heads to roll. Someone here is always ticked off whoever is in office and willing to burn the house down when their view isn't the majority. I'm glad they do, but why would any pilot at CAL be willing to step up to represent or help this pilot group with all the burning in effigy that almost every volunteer gets? Accuse, accuse, accuse and hope something sticks is the standard play.
I came from a small-jet carrier and never did I see the childish behavior amongst adults that I see among the supposed "real" pilots here at a major.
