Want to clarify that a little? I thought the FAA was the department that interprets how a regulation, or a law that replaces, so in essence becomes the regulation, is to be applied.

That's why they are the ones who want to take your ticket when you violate one, not the company.

Vagabond,

Ya know, for a lawyer, you've got a remarkable grasp of the obvious.

I remember that song... I don't remember her calling anyone "dodo".

Actually, I don't remember it being a "her". It was Stephen Stills.

Oh it hurts so bad when you stab me in the back.!! Although the tone may be a bit different at the meeting, this MEC and it's officers still can't figure out the communication thing and DW still seems to be on his OWN program. I hear that after the conclusion of the conference call the other day, DW decides (without lettin the MEC know) that they are going to hold a hub meeting. Who's running this union, our reps or DW. Then no comm about anything discussed. The last "update" from my rep was LAST APRIL!!! This MEC still doesn't know the word communication.
