As you said in a recent sermon, the reps DO control the union and the process. I know you have a ton of energy invested in contradicting yourself on that, but let's face it: the second side side won a long time ago. The reps ARE in control. If they're not happy, they fire the Chairman, or the NC. Absent that, they can vote a TA down. They ARE in charge, literally. They're no less in charge of the MEC than you are of your aircraft. I assume you don't spend a lot of time crying about FO's that don't perform their jobs correctly online, or through leaks, or through rumors. Why are they?
So it's really TWO old guards fighting for control of the MEC, and the TA is but a backdrop for that interminable saga.
