That is of course until it isn't "their" chairman and then they will change their previous codes of conduct and use roll call to recall because they don't like who the chairman did select, or happened to remove from those full time fpl positions.
"Volunteer, and get involved" is a line of BS that ALPA apologists always employ. But the action of the ALPA insiders purging their enclave of a guy trying to change it from within was the best example of how the line is just talk. Well you can bet I'll be voting for the change I want if given the chance to vote for recall. I seriously doubt it will be enough to make a difference that's needed, but it's a step in the right direction.
