I'm assuming you have more time in the industry than I do. Do you really have to be told how important an election is? I would do everything in my power to get one of my pilots on the EXCO. 700 F9 votes (plus whatever you could pick up from the native RAH pilots) should be more than enough to get a guy/gal on the EXCO.

Even if it does apply, how do we reconcile the 24 continuous months requirement if no dues could have possibly been paid in July?
They have stated more than once that this article
does apply. And I believe that they have also stated that July's dues won't be collected since it was a transition month from the NMB ruling (not sure, since quite frankly, it didn't affect me).
If you want to remain a nonparticipant, than you have taken away any say on how things go forward from here.
