Except for that goofy hat he wears, there is no other person better suited to take over and heal the wound created by the current group. Think Dave Webb is irreplacible? Think Chris Baker. He may not want the job and he may protest if you point this out to him but he has been in training for 15 years for this job and we need him....NOW
#1 He will not be DW,s replacement, if he is loyal.
#2 He would spout the party line just like everybody else.
We need new blood in ALPA leadership. If nobody in the MEC had the cajones to disagree on retroactivity than they all need to go. I find it hard to believe that some of the lower block reps are for retroactivity. ALPA is circling wagons.
