Just keep in mind that every time that you or some other pilot attacks a union volunteer, you make is less likely that he/she will return. That is how you end up with guys who go to the dark side, and how you end up with perfectly qualified guys who just drop out. Then the less qualified hacks end up in important positions.
Is that why TS left? Yes most, the majority, are hard working good honest guys that work in our union, both paid and volunteers alike. I argue that if the union leadership turns a blind eye to fraud, waste and abuse that will be the most damaging thing to happen to our union.
