This person will most likely be our chairman (barring a DPA vote and win) for contract 2015. Imho, A.A. is the man for the job.
The 10 Reps that recalled KR have the same power to elect whomever they like, and they don't GAS what you think. They will elect someone who will:
A) Give them OM type leadership to short circuit the MEC to deliver a TA that the company wants, and
B) Someone who will devote MEC support towards reelecting Moak next Nov.
You can forget AA on that count, and maybe VS for the PR value, but expect a last minute entry who will have the support of the recall 10.
