Oh, that's it. Gawd. No actually I would support them if I knew they would fix everything, but the reality is that even among this group of pilots there are widely differing opinions on what needs to happen. That is no where near sorted out and if they got it, it would be like a rebel force getting in to power and then now knowing what to do with it.


What Drew's article articulates is what is the issue that no one can seem to put there finger on. Well he just shot a really large flashlight at it. If you want to change that, and get what you want Carl, figure out what Reps agree with your position, and which ones don't, and then see if you have the support to pick a few off. The change of two or three reps, tops, changes this whole MEC completely.

Thus far it has not happened. Even guys I know within DPA admit they do not have enough support to recall anyone. That is why the system is set up this way. It allows an accumulator to the whole process.

As for electing a Master Chair and the ALPA Prez, I am all for that, but recall authority lies within the MEC and the BOD respectively. How about you right a resolution for you LEC 20 meeting, and then see if it can pass at the Nov MEC meeting. Make sure that your LEC 20 guys on the drafting committee that deal with this resolution, record the vote as part of the resolution.

To date no one has even tied this, including me. I am willing to keep putting resolutions up, but one man shows are stopped quickly, and with good reason. Get your guys organized and if you can't ask why? It is not because ALPA suck. It is because everyone is to darn lazy to give a little of their time and force a few issues.

We wonder why we are where we are.
