We all can.

I'm not in your council, and it looks like Slow is going to challenge you a while (which I think is healthy), so I don't need to be redundant. I'll say this, and be done:

I think I recall from your last foray into campaigning that what is lacking is a clear picture of what you stand for and against. You're a knowledgeable person, and a pleasant person to have an interent conversation with. You're interested in the airline and the union. Good. But what vision do you have, and what sort of leadership attributes do you bring? What controversials calls have you made or supported?

These are things you need to develop in converting your internet equity as a nice huy, into something useful as a leader (and rep) for the benefit of pilots of your council. As Slow challenges you for some clear positions, I would hope that you rise to the occasion, not deliver platitudes. Take some risks, get a mandate, make some changes. Don't just get elected on a platform of seeing both sides.

Good luck to you.
