I have resolved myself that the only way to fix this mess is the recall of at least 1/3 of these guys to swing the majority to the other side. The entrenched MEC members must go. I have heard from to many reps that they hold too much power.
C44 is up for election in September. A recall threat isn't really a player there. Elections will happen first.
Generally, Jerry likes to call for the recall of Reps from other councils. It is inappropriate. The members of each Council elect their reps. When invited, as a guest, to other councils including Jerry's, I treat the members with respect and hold the reps who won the election of their pilots with the highest regard. They perform a tough task and nothing repays the hours they commit to the task, away from their families and the things they enjoy.
But, if respect isn't your thing, then you need to at least have an actionable plan beyond vindication. Best if the question you ask yourself is, "what is best for the Delta pilots."
