80 ... some are good folks. This is the sort of thing which should be better targeted than simply "throwing the bums out." See my reply below.

The DALPA attitude of "It's a really complex cost equation and you're not smart enough to understand..." is the type of arrogance that I really resent, and one reason why I support DALPA's ouster.
More to the point, the Delta MEC voted against the resolutions passed by their membership in their handling of Compass. In a representational democracy this breach of fiduciary duty must not be tolerated. The recall that was called for was superseded by the expiration of the malfeasors' terms.
Until they make public statements of recompense they are on a list and will be lobbied against when they seek representative responsibilities in our union. They breached our trust by placing their own desires ahead of the pilots they promised to represent.
... and while Alpha will pile in and try to make this personal, it is not. A Representative has a duty to represent. That duty is breached when you vote against your pilots.
