Perfect example of the ALPA national mentality of the ends justifies the means. Destroy a duly elected chairman with personal attack and innuendo from the first day of his election. Have the attacking people be the very people that work FOR the chairman. And in the world of ALPA national union goon politics, that's all fair game as long as you achieve your 10-9 vote.

You could possibly overlook this behavior if this no-holds-barred goon behavior was used occasionally against management, but ALPA reserves this behavior only for its own members. For management, it's nothing but accommodating management's point of view. For TWA pilots and other actual ALPA members, watch your back.
