PCL... the issue here is not the perception of reality as much as it is deception by Prater.
Here is the type of deception I'm talking about:
I understand your pilot group is in negotiations. You polled your members and they want raises and improved work rules. Your MEC is saying that they'll go with the majority. So here comes the Company offer telling you that this is their last, final and best offer which is basically status quo. It doesn't even come close to what your membership wanted. The membership spoke loud and clear that they'll walk out given the current conditions.
Well damn, now you need to build your PIC turbine time and you say damn... screw these guys. How about we do an MEC ratification, sign this contract and get it over with, and that's what you end up doing.
That's basically what Prater did in a nutshell. He saw that the majority of ALPA was against the rule change. Yet, he wants the rule to change. So he paid a lip service to the majority in ALPA and now started this whole implementation blue-ribbon crapola without even putting up a fight.
Prater needs to go.
