For themselves since they are in the 824,
And the MEC chairman and vice chairman and negotiation chairman and both Chicago reps were for it, the DFW, N.Y., MIA and Training Reps were against it. Since the MEC chairman and vice chairman along with negotiation chairman have no vote, the LEC's do, 7 against b scale and the constant two from Chicago were for the b scale. Chicago as a union representation takes management side at everything.
The MEC offered b scale for the 824 to get jobs at us airways as they will at aa.

So let me get this right for the record. Eagle MEC went to airways with a b scale offer in return for better flow and fleet plan. Airways offered something ridiculous and MEC voted it down. Now airways is using that offer as carrot to PSA and probably PDT next?

So if you buy there excuse then we know how you vote if you are a pilot, or are you an alpa/management troll.

The MEC chair, vice chair and negotiation chairman were livid that it did not pass, they were as the Chicago reps for b scale. This would have filtered to every regional, and this had alpa national support for b scale.

Truly being about themselves as they are part of this 824 with rights to American Airlines?
