Wendy's Video
 

Just saw the video Wendy put out today. She deliberately avoided names, but made clear that certain individuals/MEC members are going out of their way to make her life miserable, even if it disrupts MEC Business and the Contract and SOC/SLI process. As such, she is not seeking re-election next term. She seems to believe the video itself will trigger a recall.

Question: can someone say who these persons are? If not appropriate for this forum, name a domicile? Or initials?

My fear: if what she says is true, then they fight only for the sake of fighting. I'm afraid these clowns will throw away scope, work rules, seniority, etc, as long as they get what they want.

At the moment, I don't have a dog in this fight. But I would hope that those who do would be able to shoot down a hostile bandit at the polling booth.

What did Wendy's video message mean?
 

I am confused by Wendy's recent video message. She says she is stepping aside, then says she will serve until the end of the year. I guess she will finish out her term, but not seek reelection?

I didn't know things were so bad at the MEC level, but I guess being furloughed tends to leave one in the dark. I think this would be more appropriate to post on an internal board, but it is my understanding that the UAL pilot's board is still shut down?

Wow, I'm still taken aback a bit by her message. How will we ever get a contract and get recalled if things are that bad with the MEC?

You and I just posted some similar things. So your understanding is she will serve out her term but not seek reelection?

That's how I see it. I just read how to merge threads; they will be joined at the MEC-level in about 1 minute!

No, wait---that would be a disaster.

I happen to know who these individuals are. At least some of them. I will gladly tell you if you send me a private message. I cannot send on to you because I have not had 10 posts. If you cannot send me a message. Email me at [email protected]

It is most of the West Coast Domiciles. It is ridiculous. This has been going on since Wendy was elected. I really don't care if you like Wendy or not, but we should be fighting a common enemy not play these political games. Let's get a contract together then fight about the rest.

This!

The infighting has got to stop.

I don't think that she actually ruled out serving another term, she said she would not serve another term if the same individuals are on the MEC.

Check out his web site via the link above, read his platform, and if you like what you see contact your LEC officers and make your voice heard. That last point cannot be overstated! You MUST contact your LEC officers and let them know how they are to represent you, as a line pilot, you don't get a vote in this election.

OK, OK, we get it!
