I sure as heck want to know the downsides before I cast a vote. Anything else is irresponsible.

I see that the folks who wanted to end-run the 4 man team didn't get their way at National. Nice to know, however, that they want to get rid of the non-voting reps so that the workload for the remaining two goes up, leading potentially to DTW having the highest rep-to-pilot ratio in ALPA.

Oh, yea, they want to close the local field offices so everything has to go through National. Yippie.

Oh, and this is my fav:

Potential option to replace the non-status representative with an LEC Executive Administrator (EA)....and guess what? NOT ELECTED, APPOINTED!
