That's somewhat unfair. Reality is they have stepped up out of selfless/ selfish reasons or both. Out of 12000 pilots, it is the same guys always involved and that says something about us too(Maybe we need to get off our asses and get involved some). Just some shifting of committees or to rep status. They have taken the time to get involved and stay involved and know the system well and how to use it to get what "they" believe "we" should get. I think some have been doing the business so long that they have a disdain for the average pilot and how dare anyone question their judgement.

They're soooo cute.
