Being in there fighting is no virtue in and of itself. Should we praise Jimmy Hoffa just because he was "in there"? What you do WHILE you're in there is critically important. Nobody gets a pass on bad deeds just because they were "in there".

The only bitterness I'm hearing is from you alfa. Since there are such a small number of union official positions, the rest of us can only communicate our thougths to our brother pilots, and hope learning and enlightenment ensues. I consider that positive action.

Everyone should know that this is the exact language our elected reps would get from alfa and the other MEC bureaucrats when they dared to disagree with the direction of the administration. It's no wonder why we were so ineffectual this time around.
