So, if this is the way ALPA does voting for Reps, why hasn't this process or rule already been changed? What if I happen to be flying that day, my vote doesn't count? I'm paying dues for crying out loud, you work for me ALPA, NOT the other way around.
Hello ALPA, the 1930's called, they'd like their bits of charcoal and parchment paper back. What are they worried about, hanging chads?
This has to be about the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. You're shutting out a whole base and everyone else that doesn't live in LAS or isn't there on that particular day from choosing their Rep. Is this really the intention of ALPA or the Spirit MEC?
At least hold the vote over a couple of days or some other workable solution to make sure pilots have opportunity to cast their votes.
