I contemplate going back there everyday, but the I see these posts, and remember one of the reasons why I left (besides my ego). Even with a certain member in China, it still seems crazy!
repost: In the ALPA system, a Local elects two Reps, one from the Captain ranks and one from the First Officer ranks. If the FO's elected their rep and their rep only, and the Captains elected their rep and their rep only, I would agree with you; but we don't do it that way, we elect two reps per Local with both positions being voted on by all pilots (both seats). I'm not quoting ALPA C&BL's here, just being logical.
As such, Frank and Travis are the Council 109 Representatives,and Cole's Reps are Frank and Travis.
