There needs to be deep dive to examine how an MEC went so far off the rails. More importantly, we need to understand how such a disconnect existed between the MEC and membership.

That should have never happened and it’s up to each of us to NEVER let it happen again.

Those pilots who failed us should wear the scarlet letters they deserve, but I hope the more effective lesson is line pilots must stay engaged, not just when we’re negotiating.
It's pretty clear the pilot group was disengaged with the union process and that's what you get.

The house was cleaned up and people are more engaged. Honestly, the system worked as designed.

Only part of your post I agree with it is people need to stay engaged.

Agreed. Will tell you from another airline, I was hoping your collective resolve would triumph. And it did. Good work UA.
