What exactly are you fighting about? Let's work towards a common goal and a common enemy guys.

There is almost 1300 of us now, and the same 10 names keep trying to hold us back, this takes up so much time and resource fighting these same individuals each week. I want a contract yesterday, but these few people constantly try to drag down anyone that is not in lock step with their hard core socialist union mentality.
This constant power grab is getting tiresome to the rest of us. I don't see the point of bickering over being a MEC officer or a representative. Those people don't have power over anything and are working for free. I'm glad we have people with a drive to serve but fighting over it seems silly. The line pilots have all the power. If you crave power then bid your line, fly your line, attend the meetings, and vote.

Make yourself standing available? Latest email from JS, more issues it seems. Not me, I'm sitting at home enjoying a cold one today.
Fly the contract, fly safe, stay strong.
