There is not an ALPA volunteer out there that is not doing anything other than what they believe is in the best interest of the pilot group. The issue has always been when that view of what's best does not align with what the unwashed pilot masses believe is in their best interest, and well meaning, "better informed" volunteers saving them from themselves.



I don't believe in the history of either DAL or NWA a TA that went out for a MEMRAT has ever been voted down. The MEC(s) carefully poll and know and plan a TA they put out for vote will pass.

As to neutral recommendations, that happened at the last NWA ch11 TA, and it was then mercilessly sold by the MEC. Still bad blood over that.
