Well, no SILs for December either.
Guess the NFLs are what they want.

I've got some real problems with that "blast mail."
Were certain candidates told a deadline to get responses in and then had the deadline change to their disadvantage and exclusion? Answer: Yes.
Did certain candidates get to see the answers provided by other candidates in advance, providing them the opportunity to edit their own? Answer: Yes.
That blast mail was sent to C44 with no identification of the originator, no identification of the authors of the questions, and an inequitable opportunity for answering by all the candidates.
It was akin to one side of a debate being provided the answers beforehand.
Is this the type of "leadership" we can expect from folks who campaign in this manner?
If that was the goal, then this episode sure doesn't support it. This creates the appearance of dirty politics.

The point of this, was to see the candidates answers side by side.
I do not see a type of leadership in this. I see guys willing to answer questions provided by a line pilot. He wanted them sent to everyone. The cost of printing out 50 pages of answers 3800 times is astounding. ALPA legal was consulted and they had no issue with this. Hence a blast mail and not a v-file drop.

I believe that the goal of providing your answers is to show the pilots what your "Book End" views are so that when you are negotiating without the ability to seek pilot input, pilots can see where you will be coming form. If gives a baseline on where you stand.
Again, Slow I did not see depict or anything dirty about this. If it were private e-mails I think you would have a point. The thrust behind these questions we to make them public, a fact that each and every pilot running knew from the start.

It's good that you acknowledge the questions were slanted and that this wasn't really an issue identification piece. I view it as a poorly disguised advocacy piece.
Slow, when the person that got the piece, it was already in PDF format. He could not make amendments.
