I've been an ALPA member and supporter for 25 years. Never have I seen a weaker charade when it came down to unifying this pilot group prior to this negotiation. No real effort what so ever. Just lip service.
What is astounding is that even after the DPA close call, back to business as usual.
Sad actually. Shiznit. Pull your head out and remove the asshat. Ask yourself some honest questions as to why there is a power struggle.
Maybe, perhaps maybe, there is a top down hierarchy run by the shadow old guard that are finally getting stood up too. God forbid. You mean, not all the LECs are falling in line and snap off a salute! What the #%$@ ! Perhaps these recalcitrant LECs are actually following their constituents wishes. Imagine that for a second.
So. If there is infighting, whose fault is that? Who does he MEC chair work for? Who does the shadow MEC work for?
It's not amazing to me at all that you are not no longer an elected rep.
Which brings up the point, assuming all LECs know what their constituents put in their contract surveys, do one or two LECs have a right to stifle the stated contract priorities of the rest of the pilot group if they were different from their own group? They would have the right to argue their point obviously but how far would be too far?
