It has always been so interesting how the average US East pilot turns on its' MEC or BBR leaders without fail. Without really knowing them, or what they do. I think this explains entirely why the East group always fails to achieve a decent contract, and takes excessive concessions when compared to the rest of the industry. It is no coincidence whatsoever. I will bet you 99% of the critics never did one iota of work for their fellow pilots, or did anything more than run scared when any management said merely BOO! Led by the biggest scared pilot USA320. The biggest and most easily frightened of them all. How this group gives this person an ear amazes me. If you look into his record, you will find a host of issues. There are nothing but biased opinions. Entirely.
I do admire the cohesion of the West group. They are entirely more organized than the East, and work together. I will bet 9 of 10 East poster here voted themselves LOA 93 without understanding what they were doing.
I do not know what Cleary did, or did not do with his vacation.
