But completely ignore another provision of the Bylaws that specifically allow split meetings. What better case would a split meeting apply by allowing THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MEMBERS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE such as that of 77's? This is the exact reason that provision exists! Nonetheless, the LEC, which includes R.P., REFUSED despite numerous requests by many pilots! This is documented! So R.P.'s "unity" email is BS. Action is worth more than cheap words.
Bottom Line...Everyone affected by an election should be given every opportunity to vote. Anything less is unfair and un-democratic. Those who try to lessen voter participation invite criticism and accusations of bias.
