I don't think you're wrong for having a different opinion. I just think your opinion is wrong.
That's what makes for a good debate, right?

Haven't you been listening? Haven't you been reading? Capt Webb made his opinion public a month ago. We have received correspondance from him, the Communications Chair, and all the Block Reps. They've been in the hub, they've been available for phone calls, they've been receiving and answering e-mail. How could they possibly be hiding? While we can argue about the volume and content of the message, it's clear that they haven't been trying to hide anything. Capt Webb could have very well pranced off to Herndon and voted his opinion without ever telling us, and there's a pretty good chance none of us would have ever taken notice. That's not what's happening.
Log on to the ALPA website and read the BLOCK 8 UPDATE from the LEC Rep of the most junior block - - PLEASE. That's Block 8, First Officer Dave Risch.
It's time to head for the Germantown Centre now for the "We're Takin' It Back!" Roadshow with Capt John Prater, ALPA President. See y'all there.
(Oh, and I'll see you at the hubturn meeting at midnight-thirty tonight, too.)
