I think yes they should vote how the majority wants and if they can not due to personal convictions they should resign. They were elected to office to represent the majority of FedEx pilots, not the minority or ALPA national or their view. I have called my reps and heard the same story line. One question why no vote or education/information blitz before our elected MEC handed down their decision? Could it be because they knew what the majority of us would think and they might not get reelected? We should vote on these 2 issues and whatever the majority wants I will support, regardless of how it effects me personally, I thought that is how a respectable above board Union was run!!!
