James would be a great "peace time" MEC Chairman/Rep, but these times call for a war time Chair/LEC. Time to show the arrows and not the olive branch of our flag

My point is that even though JA has a voice and vote, he has done enough damage and should tread very lightly and think twice on opposing the current direction.
I agree with everything you are saying except that part of JA being a great peace time MEC chairman.

I left NK 3 months ago for greener pastures. I'm one of those old guys hired to firm up ops. Jyri told me personally that pay was going to be fixed in the next year, 2014. Part of my decission to leave was that I thought not getting a deal during the IROP and amenable date in the summer of 2015 was a missed opertunity James is a good guy who misplayed a hand, nothing more. I wish you all the best but if you are not in the left seat I would be looking.

You were happy to accept this assignment along with an ALPA seniority number. When things didnt work out you leave but return to the board to compliment our MEC chairman for giving away the house to management. Really?

May also be heard on Ops frequencies calling for paperwork, catering, or furiously attempting to make alternate arrangements for parking when their gate is occupied by another aircraft. Their gruff mating call, attributed to years of alcoholism and smoking: "If you don't like it, then quit!"
