Well played, and pretty funny! Using North Korea as a metaphor is something I couldn't do, but when you do it...
I don't want the pilots to keep quiet, but in what universe would you expect the boss to express public doubt about his attorney in what he describes as the end-state of a plea-bargain? I expect the reps to be quiet. We should be drowning in speculation by pilots, debate by pilots, input from pilots. Instead, we're getting syncronized mass, public displays of confusion, politics, and more mass.
What's so ironic is that you're the one who is trying to stifle discourse based on these legitimate concerns and sentiments. Undoubtedly, you're doing so for a political purpose. The loss to all would occur if we line pilots remained silent as you are urging us to do. Your statement should read: "at a gain for those members, but at a loss for those of us trying to parrot the MEC admin's message." We'll just have to live with the guilt Sink r8.

Sailing,
I refer you to post 5225. It's back a few pages. I posted that to flush out the 37% number because I didn't have a document citing it. Without that my claim would be unsubstantiated. The logic is correct. I have already shown the 2015 first two quarters profit sharing are trending well above 2014. (it's back a little further)
The 4.5 number was used to lowball the PTIX assuming reduction in total profit sharing when the other employee groups get cut. And it's a good red herring because that is a well known number.
28.8 was my number. I will concede yours 20+%. I think we are roughly in agreement. I still welcome your scrutiny.

Undoubtedly management has re crunched their own numbers.
I agree. Management has crunched and dissected their own numbers, and our DALPA experts have crunched and dissected management's numbers.
Sure would be great if our union had independent economic and financial analysts.
Oh wait.

Again, I think that's a mistake...but the reps are in charge.

So it's really TWO old guards fighting for control of the MEC, and the TA is but a backdrop for that interminable saga.

Because they are trying to get the NC to remember they work at their behest instead of just firing them. I would fire them immediately, but the reps get to decide that. The reps have decided that it will inure to the greater benefit of this pilot group if they can get this NC to work per their direction instead of the direction of the unelected MEC administration.

Of course you do, you just don't seem to like your clearance when it's read back to you.
You'll understand if I think your analogy to a criminal trial is pretty dopey...right?
The correct analogy is an athlete that has concerns that his agent has been co-opted by the team owners and that agent is no longer negotiating on the athlete's behalf. Said athlete has two choices: 1. Fire the agent and continue negotiations with a new one, or 2. Express doubt publicly about the agent in the hopes said agent knows he's been busted, and if he wants to continue and get a taste of the new contract, he better remember who's hired him.
We know that Sink r8. That's all you've been saying since this started. You seem to only be getting allies from the MEC admins however.
Then you should be happy with this thread.
That's where you go off the rails Sink. It's a public display of strength...not weakness. Anderson and Campbell might even be slightly concerned right now. I believe tbey've been guaranteed that labor risk is off the table by leaders in the MEC administration, and they're a little PO'd right now.

Here's what you and your team don't understand: The reps control this process. The unelected MEC admins can squeal all they want, but they work at the behest of the reps. If the reps decide something in closed session needs to be communicated to those they represent, they get to decide. They're the bosses. Surely you get that?
You join APC this month and with nearly all of your 15 posts, you sing the same hymn that Sink r8, Professor, slowplay, sailingfun, shiznit, etc. are all singing. As you say, I'm just keeping you honest. You all have the right to your opinions, but your attempt to stifle communication is failing. Whatever agenda you're trying to push is suffering as a result. Just sayin.

"They're the bosses" is as non sequitur as it gets. They also signed non-disclosure agreements.
Leaking confidential information is an abuse of trust, could get you investigated by the SEC, and only results in diminished transparency, low-ball proposals by the company, and getting parked at the NMB.
But you like it.
