Comair New TA?
 

Any word on Comair's new TA?

The MEC is reviewing it tonite(the 17th) should find out in the next day or so.

blue,

alot of support for you guys.good luck.....

after it is signed expect comair to get those 30 900s that delta just ordered. That is pretty unfortunate

Thank you very much.


The MEC endorsed it last night. Still no word on what the details are.

What does MEC stand for?

Why would that be unfortunate?

Master Executive Council. If Im not mistaken this is considered to be the union leaders.

in union speak this means;

Master Executive Council

or Makes Everybody Cringe
or My Ending Career


just a little inside humor only guys!!!!

Yes, the MEC is the top union leadership at a given company, they are not the national folks (but an MEC member could be elected to national leadership IIRC).

Each company also has LEC's (local executive councils) which represent pilots in a specific domicile or geographic region. The pilots elect LEC members and then the LEC members elect the MEC members (from their own ranks I think).

I'm not sure how the national leaders are elected, I think it some combination of vote by the total national membership and vote by the group of MEC chairmen from the various airlines.
