Problem is, lots of people calling for the MEC/LEC to be replaced but not many willing to do the job.

It’s a thankless position...

It’s that simple. Nothing is being forced.

Regardless, majority rules. We all signed up for that concept when we entered into a collectively bargained agreement. Don’t like it? Fly in China or some other non union outfit.

And there is nothing more pathetic than those on here, mostly trolls, with the constant hate and second guessing directed towards our NC. It’s really a thankless job and a tough job that will never result in everyone being happy with their results; but having to listen to the constant keyboard warriors who won’t lift a finger beyond the keyboard they pluck away on is sad and pathetic.

Thats too much sense for APC. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I full support our MEC it is a thankless job. It's not their fault that our pilot group is interested in selling out line bidding for a few dollars more an hour.

The polls fall into the company hands nicely. For every chest-thumping "no pbs" guy ,there are two new guys that have been eeking it out at the regionals that just want a big raise and a liveable salary. Almost 1900 pilots on the list now. It's hard to be upbeat when the NMB just thinks management should get a discount on pilots.

I like it. I'm sure they won't like it being displayed in front of every passenger.

Well said! Plan on a long haul guys. Another 2 1/2 more years and we just might end up with a decent contract. That's ok and just part of the process. I support the MEC and a path to a good contract, not a fast contract. If we get a new NC so what. Nothing wrong with that and my hat is off to our current NC. Thanks for the effort.
