It might also surprise you to know that JP has said he is not interested in a new position on the combined MEC. He stated that he believes neither he nor JH should be chair of the new MEC. He does feel it should be a United pilot as MEC chair because simply put the United side is the larger of the two pilot groups. In addition, he stated there was one person in particular on the United side he thought would make an outstanding MEC chairman. All from his mouth in a CAL LEC meeting.
Yes, you are correct. There wouldn't be enough time to go through a recall process. However, his actions over the past 3 years need to be held in the forefront of what we as a group will not tolerate from our leaders. His actions over the past 3 years cost each and every United pilot money as he played bully games at and with JCBA and SLI.
I think he does a good job of stating the obvious though. He couldn't get elected to any ALPA office and to suggest that a ex-UAL type should be Master Chairman is a joke considering the UAL side will control the votes going into combined MEC - guess he wants to take credit for an ex-UAL type being elected MEC chairman or is he just trying to BLACKLIST an old UAL foe.
He deserves a boot on the backside leaving instead of a pat on the back. I hope there will be large enough group of pilots there to give him a hardy salute.
