We need leaders who stand behind the words they utter. This would be a completely different forum if we all had to use our real names.

We need leaders who aren't afraid to express contrary opinions without having to worry about babies on the MEC leaking misrepresentations of what was said. All that matters is that it was unanimous. It's irrelevant if some were hesitant that it was too soon or that we might not get the result we want. What you want is all descenters to be silenced and bow to the leakiest of LEC reps.

AND, I think it’s one thing to continue to serve out a term when you get sick, it’s another to get a “promotion” while being on disability.

OBTW, LTD are not active pilots. To me, that’s a big difference. Especially as the MEC chair.
You are absolutely right... I didn't know he was out.

If he is out after the first of the year, he MUST be replaced.

This! Do line pilots on LTD even get to vote on union stuff? I know I couldn't vote on the last contract because I was deployed. Depending on when the next TA drops, I won't get to vote because I will be deployed again. Never mind the fact that it has a HUGE impact on my life and I'll be back on active status again within a few months. If this guy can serve in a union position AND get a "promotion," then I should be able to vote while out on MLOA.

We are experiencing the 'rules for thee and not for me' at the local level aren't we?

And that's the reason why it's almost impossible to take anyone seriously on this forum.

That sounds more like a personal problem.

Please enlighten us on your vision on how we would elect a non -Delta pilot to the role of MEC Chairman. I'm intrigued.

It doesn’t sound like the new guy is really a Delta pilot anyway so just use your imagination on how we would do it. We could probably save some of our dues money too.

I'm not really saying that. But it certainly doesn't seem so important to have on e that is actually active and qualified, so why not explore the potential of actually finding one with some guts to go up against the company? Perhaps one of the Teamsters bubbas? I am loathe to see much motivation from a guy that isn't dependent on actually operating a Delta airplane for his paycheck
