Kudos to MEC majority. Finish the house cleaning.

Was that in open session or are you in a non-disclosure status? I had heard a different version of what you post, but I am not in the know. If you are not under non-disclosure, you aren't either. The 12 did NOTHING any other administration hasn't done when they have a consensus. Frankly, I was a bit surprised John wasn't elected. No doubt there were ugly parts of the process, as there have been with every single election and recall. It's part of the democratic process. I find extremely distasteful the remarks of members of John's administration, and it is interesting to see the true colors of people when the chips are down--not to mention the approximate 15 seconds between the election and the announcement of the council 44 meeting agenda including the recall of the 44 f/o representatives. Very telling.

If we are talking TA innuendo, my gut feeling is the vote was probably closer to the usual 60/40, except that members of the MEC, and their constituents voted closer to my line of thinking--and its confirmed with several of the f/os I have flown with: Rather than the home run, it is more like we are finally at the point where the risk is higher than the potential reward. In the meantime, we have (as a union) ushered in a era where we are actually supporting seniority abrogation and merit based incentives. :rolleyes:

On another note, if we are talking about mergers, the elected chairman was around for the merger. I suspect there are many lessons learned to do the same and to do differently under his belt. Where was Captain Malone during the merger, and then subsequently aligned himself with DPA rather than reengage. Regardless, a merger committee would be elected and be responsible to the MEC. Additionally, even if a merger were announced TODAY, the wheels roll slowly and the audience is MUCH more in the loop with social media checks and balances--and hyperbole.

In the wise words of Donald Trump:

"WRONG"

You could say the opposite. ;)

aren't you in C66? And we know you are in favor. You were opposed to anyone who said no to anything during contract talks.

You have all this inside information, how?

Your timeline excluded the AIP documents that caused a backlash and a need for redirection. Oh, and the company pay opener.

There's a reversal of opinion. Or as the proletariat call it a "flip flop."

the fact that the usual suspects are up in arms and melting down on facebook show me the right decision was made yesterday.

Excuse the interruption.
But, unfortunately, spring was only 9mos after being lied to by crap union leadership and house cleaning had only just begun.

What did you lose in 6mos...
Last year it was, "time value of money".
Now, it's, "retro too late for Trump rally"?

Or did your boss lose his job?

Maybe he, along with Trip 7, would prefer more concessions. Unbelievable.
