For example, if your a coach and your team is getting hammered...you don't call out their weaknesses (if any), you pick them up and stand behind them as support. PNCL would love to see us divided...just look at Delta...2 union votes knocked down after all that hoopla. Delta divided...Delta likey Division....Keep it together ladies and gents...stand strong and proud...and support your union reps.
Rant Over....
Side note...I heard "America America" in my head as I wrote this post...LOL
Oh I'm most definitely not knocking the current MEC Chair. I believe he has done a fine job. The behind the scenes "900 pay/no flying" thing was started by an ex-MEC member with an axe to grind (PC), probably the sender of the infamous unsolicited e-mail to union members e-mail addresses with no signature...
The bottom line is that communication is worse than poor. It's pathetic. The 15th has passed, and all we got was a forwarded e-mail from some other pilots about an LEC update... nothing from this JNC, or from the MEC...
Again - I have no complaints as to the actions or direction my union is taking; what I take huge issue with is being in the dark as much from the union as we are from the company.
Heck, let me write e-mails to the pilot group.... I obviously have time, I'm sitting here right now!
