This is kind of silly. Save yourself the embarrassment.
The procedure to recall a President is via Executive Board which would require the action of your MEC Chairman. We have a Board of Director's meeting in October and Lee Moak has thus far signalled he is not running.
Besides, the interview with President Moak was as short as the article's quotes.
Moak's been right on the matter of our getting better contracts with healthy employers.
Bar-
I agree with you on the Moak recall. There's not enough time for it to make a difference.
I disagree on your dismissal of his comments. They are genuinely troubling.
Combine Moak's statements with Anderson's recent comment to investors that his relationship with ALPA is so good that labor risk is completely off the table at Delta Air Lines and I think we should all start to get worried.
Then there's the letters from the UAL Legislative Affairs Chairman describing Moak's role in sabotaging their negotiations...
The evidence is mounting. ALPA may be compromised. They're not what we think.
If we want to have real negotiations for Contract 2015 and not just some sham production orchestrated by ALPA and management to look like negotiations, then we might need to recall more than Moak. His minions are thoroughly entrenched at DALPA.
