The biggest problem I see with all of these arguments that have cropped up lately is that they have come from leaks from executive session's. The point of executive sessions is to be able to throw ideas out that may be WAY off the wall and discuss them. Maybe you learn something new and develop some new strategies, maybe you decide after the discussion that you in no way want to go where the original idea was going. That is the purpose of executive session and when the confidentiality of executive sessions is protected, they work really well. If the confidentiality of them is not protected(as it was not) then the talking breaks down completely because neither side trusts the other(which has now happened).
Our(XJT) MEC has said since the beginning of this thing that they were willing to look at everything and anything and throw ideas around to attempt to get us the best of everything. Our MEC has been looking at PBS for a while with open dialog to our pilot group. They threw the discussion out there in executive session, and the ASA MEC leaked that we were now trying to push PBS.
I have talked to my rep and he said we are in no way pushing PBS, but doing exactly what was asked of them which is to explore everything and lay it out to us pilots without trying to deceive us. I believe it is the ASA MEC's intention to deceive their pilot group by playing these stupid childish games.
