Higney,

Thank you for your post, you have provided some good insight and I appreciate it. I understand there are many things happening on the MEC level that I will never know and he doesn't get credit for those things. I also understand that he won't divulge the exact plan of action. But in my opinion from the outside looking in I think our union, more specifically the mec, could be more vocal and more aggressive towards the company. We never should have cancelled that picketing event. I think it made us look weak and showed the company how easy it is/was to make us roll over. It's the one thing we can do to put pressure on them, as you are well aware. Lastly, we shouldn't have to vote to make him fly or stay current, although I appreciate what was attempted. He should be out there among the "troops" working and experiencing the nightmare with us. If he was current and picking up flying people would respect him a lot more.
