Dear Union Leadership.
Union leadership, knock knock. Time to show some, you know, leadership. What are we expecting here? The silence is deafening. Should we all be expecting to get based in Houston? Should we be putting out resumes? Your fellow union members are kinda depending on you in these situations. It’s time to step up and do the job we pay you for. And an Email telling me that the number of COVID cases in the pilot group hasn’t changed isn’t an update. We need frank information. I know a few of you have a “privileged” seat and know what’s happening behind the scenes. It’s long past time to share what you know. Exactly what is the situation with this company. Are our jobs in jeopardy. Do your job.

+2...I’m always amazed at info that other MEC’s send out to other pilot groups. It seems like the ENY MEC does a much better job at communicating to their pilots. They seem to communicate what the company is asking for, what was rejected and accepted and what they think the company may be asking for in the future.
Hell, I heard from ENY about about losing airplanes and this months reduced schedule well before hearing anything from my own MEC or the company. Actually, I may be wrong but I’m not sure our MEC has said anything of significance since it’s happened.
By the way, next month we supposedly go from 21 flights a day to 51 flights a day. Not much of an increase if true, but I’ll take it. If ENY knows this stuff our MEC should know and comment.
Why haven’t they addressed our reduced schedule this month?

Strange. Considering several CP folks have been given CJOs in the past 2 weeks and told to possibly report to the schoolhouse in July
