Classic distortion and straw man. Fly4hire was an elected rep. Elected democratically. While I didn't agree with all of his positions as a rep, he never flouted the will of the pilots he represented. In other words, his actions as a rep showed he did indeed believe in democracy. Alfaromeo knows this, yet he smears in order to deflect from his own actions that got him thrown out. There's a name for that kind of behavior.

Again, Fly4hire never said or intimated anything of the sort. The democratic process was purposely and successfully flouting by the actions of alfaromeo, slowplay and the rest. The democracy wasn't flawed, it was just sidestepped by people with their own interests in mind. To our union's credit, those people are no longer in those positions.

I won't clog up the thread by quoting the rest of alfaromeo's post, but you get the point. Well maybe you don't Gomer.
