There's the exact quote, Red F.

Another post referred to "ALPO" as "a waste of time and money", which would imply that it is a third party service and not our own elected peers.

The rep that wrote this email just as much represents ALPA as the MEC Chair he refers to. It's not a private corporation we have no control over.

I give the DFW rep credit for volunteering and taking a stand against abuse of expenses, I just have a problem with airing dirty laundry for management to see. Aside from that, good for him for stepping up to the plate, volunteering his time and working from within.
