Exactly my point to you acl. Your vote to recall a man who'd done nothing wrong (as stated by everyone) was purely political. You were afraid of being recalled if you voted in the minority. So you threw a guy under the bus. How did that help 100,000 lives? What did that vote do for unity? How well did that align with the pilots who elected you?
It was pure politics and a$$ saving on your part. I know you're new, but you've started off badly.

Like it, love it, or hate it, that is what leading means to me.
I hope everyone sees this for what it is. By describing the opposition of management and fighting for gains as "errantly waving your gun", it should show everyone that acl65pilot has no intention of opposing management and fighting for anything other than what management is willing to give. Anything else is waving a gun. [insert face palm]
With guys like this, why even have a union.
