But as you said, this is a JCBA, not PCL's section 6 that has been going on for 6 years. Now there are Pinnacle guys who are upset about the lack of unity but have no problem with the PCL MEC acting on this by themselves in spite of the opinions and resistance of the other MEC's. Unity??
To make it worse, we now have loud mouths on here talking about jumpseating wars and staple jobs.
The PCL MEC wants to play rouge warrior at any cost, even if it means going against the consensus of all MEC's.
I'll point out of all 3 MEC's, there is only one who has 6 years of experience dealing with Pinnacle management. There is also only one pilot group of all 3 pilot groups who has 6-15 years dealing with Pinnacle management. It's not XJ and it's not 9L--it's the Pinnacle MEC.
Say what you will about us not having a contract--but at the end of the day, who do you think has the best instincts concerning what Pinnacle is thinking and planning?
