Moak has a history of letting management off the hook on scope.

ACL has already dropped a hint that they might do that. They're gonna say it was to continue the flow-down "job protection" for mainline pilots.



Up is down. Black is white. More RJs are good for mainline pilots.


Check;
They can say anything they want, but the simple fact is that this was not the intention when the NWA negotiated it.

All I see is a bunch of yuck. No fun for anyone.

I think you need to call your DTW reps. Talk to them, and then tell me that the above statement is really any fear of theirs.

In a way, I'm glad we didn't give in. The lawsuit is worth it, giving in was a bad idea. Good for Delta to fight it in court although with this gang - as shown in the gulf and Chicago gun rights case - they will just simply issue a differently worded requirement. Either way, sue the **** out of the Feds, its the only way.

johns29, much to everyone's apparent misunderstanding on this web board, LM is not a dictator with evil hypnotic powers. He is an elected leader, who is accountable to the will of the MEC and can be recalled at anytime by them. Additionally, the MEC must ratify every LOA by a majority vote. If your elected reps disagree with everything he says (which I seriously doubt), then they need to be able to convince half the MEC they are right and he is wrong. That's how change happens, as it should.

It amazes me how much power people on this board think LM has. Despite repeated changes on the MEC throughout his four years, he's still there. Perhaps, just perhaps, he really is accomplishing the will of the MEC, rather than leading them like some blind dog.

Replace your reps!

I got a chance to hear LM here in NRT earlier this year. It's pretty clear to me that LM has the support of our reps because he's doing things right. You might disagree with my observation, but I think the facts show who's right.
