The thing about replacing LEC reps is who do you replace them with. Most likely the guy you want replaced you never knew before but they did promise scope and pay, scope and pay, scope and pay. Now your options of people running are people you never knew before and they'll give you a letter that says scope and pay is their #1 priority. Then it just kind of disappears.

I have to agree with T, the union has a system in place that is impenetrable. Nobody is going to give up power and nobody is going to mess with the status quo and even if you do work within the system for change at the end of the day you're still ALPA.

I still can't understand that if we're smart enough to fly airliners and vote for the U.S. President why can't we directly vote for the MEC Chairman?
