Carl;

If they ignored it, isn't that grounds for recall? I do not think it was ignored. What I see as the issue there is it is caught up in the committee that the reps created to deal with it. When they talk about it once a quarter it get stuck between a lot of other pressing issues, and as a result no major action has been taken on it. Hold your reps feet to the fire. I know that they are in favor of it.

I also have a hard time calling ALPA a vendor when it is made up of people that pay for the service. A Vendor is a third party which you pay for. I see the problem is that too many pilots see ALPA as a vendor and do not engage, as a result we are where we are. Our dues are not like country club dues, engagement in the process and a need for volunteers is not just requested but required. That difference in semantics is the crux of the problem.
