By the way, not everyone at ALPA is elected, and certainly not to the committees they are appointed to once elected. If you think there isn't a bunch if back-stabbing politics at ALPA, the YOU are the one who needs to shut up and listen because YOU are the one who doesn't know anything.
I've been ALPA and seen the process. Is it perfect, no but with any union structure there are elections. Major committees who have appointments are appointed by the people we elect.
Since you know everything having been here 6 months you know that every major committee has members appointed by management and not by pilots. Those management appointed pilots are now in charge of every major pilot department at JetBlue. And did these appointees take care of the pilots on their steady climb? Since your six months has been filled with experience then you know the answer to that question in NO.
Pilots appointing pilots is one thing. Management appointing pilots to represent management interests on pilot committees is another.
But again, your extensive ALPA, union and JetBlue experience is clearly worth something.
