Thus, certain key positions have centralized power that is greater than it should be and deals are done which should have been sent to membership ratification ... it is all justifiable.

That is why I demand our MEC come out with a statement "no member gets sold." I do not trust them because they have refused to make a commitment to our pilots. Our Admin should be very tightly controlled with guidance from the bottom up. Instead we have top down leadership from an unelected few who have the power to cut anyone they don't like out of the loop.
