At this point I think its time that the PCCC to make a move and step out into the public eye.
At some point you have to declare yourself a leader if you wish to lead.
If they are perceived as a fledging organization that will only step out when its absolutely safe they will have difficulties in recruiting, and rightfully so.
While I understand their delay now would not be a bad time to say "This is who we are and we are willing to talk". It would be good for not only the PCCC and fellow crewmembers but would also be a positive for BA.
