None of this responds to the huge problem our union has of being top-down. In our top-down union, reps don't matter. Their opinions are all but meaningless unless their opinions align with the MEC administration's permanent bureaucracy. Again, hard working and well meaning reps don't matter. The flight pay loss resolution is only a recent example.
You'd like nothing more than to continue this ruse of making the members think they can change ALPA from the bottom-up through their reps. ALPA knows it's a great waste of time and energy, and so do you. The only question is why you keep touting this silly path.

Carl;
It may be a slow process, but it is not one that is "silly."
WRT to the FPL resolution, talk to your reps. That issue had its day,and though the process of these resolutions will come more transparency wrt to FPL. Not perfect but it is progress.
