Maybe you ought to actually read the source material, assistant groundskeeper. Then you wouldn't have to guess. The LM-2 breaks out all compensation and expense reimbursement (per diem, expenses, vacation reimbursement, etc.) for every individual. The document is way more intrusive than Federal requirements for publicly traded corporations, as they only are required to list the top 5 earners. Oh, all the stuff the union funds, such as the Charitable Fund and Furlough/Emergency Relief fund is in their too.

Not on a public forum. But their schedules were all available for pilot review. The big DPA poster had 15 days of greenslips made legal by 12 days of sick drops over the 3 summer months.

All disclosed in the LM-2, Bushwood bomber. You'll see the DPA NC and Safety committees have representatives on that list with debts to the Delta pilots by their names.

There is only one guy on DPA's NC that has run for major public office (3 times). Asking for money from a union PAC that you've never contributed to is hypocritical, don't you think?

I guess you don't like democracy, Spackler. Remember, it's not the Detroit Pilots Association. The other councils representing the other 9,000 plus pilots get a vote too. And
not one single committee guy got to vote on how that resolution was processed. All of it was done by the elected representatives.

Name that guy.
Name one elected representative that hasn't been included in the process, or been excluded from a meeting, or has been isolated from infomation provided to the MEC. When you're finished with your "proof", contact the Department of Labor. They'll be interested.
Your assertion is bovine excrement.

You keep repeating that which is false. Why? Is this what ninjas do? But I again compliment you on your selection of screen name, you're trying to be as effective as Carl Spackler was at Bushwood.
Why did I take you off my ignore list?
