Both it and the large EMBs max out the weight allowance.

I wouldn't call the 700 just a stretched CRJ200... it has a new wing, vastly improved systems management, big engines, lowered floor (so you're not hunched over), rarely a weight restriction, and long range. I just usually don't refer to it as a jumbo- it could certainly qualify for my joke categorization.

And he didn't even announce until the MEC meeting began and won majority support to beat out HK? Seriously?

Seriously, you are supposed to work for the MEC and you are on here trashing their decisions. Unbelievable. If you want to play internet blowhard then quit wasting my dues money in Atlanta and let someone else do the job.

On a side note, I didn't see you protest when the exact same thing happened in the election for EVP. Both were legal and proper under our Policy Manual. Are you just being hypocritical because you didn't get your way?

If you want to take my money working for the union, don't tear it down. If he wants to air his views in private to the MEC then he is free to do that.

If Steve Dickson were to get on the internet and start bad mouthing Richard Anderson and the Board of Directors, how long does he keep his job?

Duh.

The constant ALPA/DALPA chest thumping and dirt slinging really gets old on here. I would think/hope my reps would be above this. I know that's a lot to ask but c'mon guys. Sheesh.
