Instead, a reasonable effort has been made for the MEC to step up to do it themselves. We'll see if that happens.

First, I don't think it's right that they are using dues money to buy any booze. But, I don't think anyone would have even noticed if they were actually getting results.
Hell, I'll buy the keg for the first meeting following a solid scope plan, and compensation somewhere in the same galaxy as SWA.
And I'm not sure why anyone on fpl should getting anything more than line per diem.
But, like I said, they brought this microscope to the fight due mostly to a lack of results. We (the avg dal pilot) are not in the habit of handing out free lunches when our per diem barely pays for our own.
