What is going on here is the pitfalls of "open discussion" within a "democratic" institution. While I don't agree with the reality of whats transpiring with the age 60 debate, I'm more appalled by the "burn the house down" conflagration that's seems ready to lynch the FDX MEC leadership over their leadership. Does anyone here, proposing to recall any ALPA officer, intend to take thier place?? Will they put in the hours required to run and lead this crew force on any issue other than stonewalling the age 60 issue?? Everyone is entitled to an opinion regarding any issue in our union and the leadership should be held accountable to its membership. The question is is our leadership failing to look out for the best interests of all it members, and if not why not??
I think if the junior varsity would spend less time ranting on this BB and questioning/debating the principles involved in the how and why of their decision making process, maybe they would better understand how thier interests are being served by the elected leadership on FDX ALPA.
This discussion about tearing down DW is juvenile and lacks a coherent plan or reason. There are a lot of issues affecting your career other than whether a bunch of geriatric pilots shorten their retirement while (minimally) impeding your career progression. If this fight is that important to you, take it to the people who are in a position to affect it, the FAA and your congressmen.
