New prediction based on 9E's stalling and incompetence: Bloch gets angry and institutes a 3:1 9L/XJ:9E ratio.

I don't know what the delay is now. My guess just some due diligence since as it was pointed out earlier if they hurried and got it wrong they would be blasted, and now that they are taking their time to get it right they are being blasted.
I hope that, for the sake of credibility, the whole story is explained by our leadership. At this point it appears as incompetence. I understand your feeling to need to defend your brothers, but in the eyes of others you are fighting a losing battle. Unfortunately, with all the rumors and a mix of truth, they do not appear to be qualified for the task at hand.

What's the over/under on the number of hours it takes 9E to get a list (or 2) into Bloch's hands?

My guess, they see the writing on the wall and the only way to gain support is to make the other guys look worse than they do. Don't you think there is a reason the communications from the XJ and 9L MECs have thrown 9E under the bus at every oppourtunity? Then again, maybe you are one of them so...
Ummm, we are talking about union reps and not class president, aren't we?

I want powerful reps who will work for me. So far, I think the Colgan reps have served me pretty darn well especially considering they had to start from scratch. Are they the best candidates to be PinaColSaba reps? Maybe, maybe not. But I am pretty sure they are NOT the worst.

When the day finally comes, my vote will be for the people who will represent all 3000 pilots best, not the coolest guy in home room.

At the end of all those joint ALPA emails it says "in unity"....sure as hell seems like that's the furthest thing from the 9E's MEC right now...it's just one thing after another, and it looks bad, real bad

You guys have an excuse for everything. You know that your merger chair is on ALPA leave, how much did your list change in the last 7 days?
