Ramrod, while I haven't always agreed or disagreed with your opinion I will say I agree with you here in a round about but more general way.
Something our MEC/ALPA has failed at is communication with the pilot group on MANY(not all) aspects. Going and pointing out all of the communication failures is not needed. But this might be one of them. IF they are required (I say if and might because I honestly don't know) then it SHOULD be published. There should be no need to ask for it if it is required.
I would like to see our union work on providing us with more timely information both if it is required or not.
