Actually you are wrong there.
If the reps want to make 2000 plus phone calls then that is great. I don't think an ALPA rep has the time to do that.
An effective mass communications program to a large number of people precludes doing just what you propose. Everything that the pilots need to know should be able to be received by the ALPA COM system, or by the SPSC phone tree.
The problem is when you talk to a rep, you get a different story from each rep. A further problem is when 5 pilots talk to the same rep, each pilot gets a slightly different story. I see reps trying to "play to the pilot". Especially true if there is a personal relationship/friendship involved. I just want the facts........dats it.
