At least that was a calm rational response without more attacks.
First, who have I "claimed" to be? I've only said who I'm not, and those of you who still think I'm WF, then I guess the joke's on you. Maybe someday, you'll learn the identity of JP, but it probably won't matter. Ever seen the Wizard of Oz?
Most know who you are.
As for supporting my reps, absolutely. Right up until they make public statements like "the majority of pilots are too stupid to know what's good for them", which a new MEC member recently said.
Actually, he was parroting back something you said to him when you first met him and you were trying to school him on YOUR view of most pilots.
You may feel free to challenge them and hold them accountable in your own special way. I'll choose mine.
And so you should! Just don't undermine the process because you have personal vendettas. However, it appears that they have more honor than you as they are not trying to publicly lynch (figuratively) you.
This isn't about what "John Pennekamp" wants and thinks he's not getting his way. It's about (in the words of the same MEC rep) "60% of the pilots want to settle". That IS a majority, one I'm part of, and the reps aren't listening.
As someone else said, no one knows that. I have not voted and neither have you. In addition, as you well know, the person that you are supposedly quoting would not know,as he is just getting his feet wet. The process is not complete. When it is, you and I will get to vote. My guess is that the pilots will then have the voice, as they should, and it may not pass. By the way, contrary to your popular belief, besides QOL issues, money is important to everyone. Inflation is eroding my earning power and we are about to see the inflation rate double.
So if what I'm doing here is putting pressure on them, then good. I hope they at least listen, and I hope I've encouraged others they've never heard from to speak up. And attend the meeting on Thursday.
You are not putting pressure on anyone. There are probably 10 people that post on this board. The others, most who aren't on your seniority list, are looking for entertainment.
Everyone that is off should attend the meeting anyway. IT IS OUR UNION, by the way! It is our contract!
