Prudent thing to do. Being a status rep and MEC chairman at the same time was a bad experiment, as we have now seen. How that's even legal, I don't know. It's like being a POTUS and a Senator at the same time.

Demand that your voice is heard and demand they do something until your happy. If not than get a group that will throw these guys out. When you sign up for these rolls you take on a service roll not a roll to make things better for yourself . JA has to be ashamed his tactics of a regional pilot rep has failed again. Mesa is still hiring JA

At a certain point, the email replies just cease. To your point, that's exactly what DFW pilots are doing. They want a voice too and are tired of hearing echoes from the top that they're "a bunch of stupid cowboy-hat-wearing-idiots." I believe that was the quote.

Funny that I never see a rep or anyone wearing a P2P lanyard, ever. Does that committee still exist?
