That's not what I was talking about, however. I was talking about guys telling people in other councils who gets to represent them. Of course, guys who are hijacking a no for the purpose of launching a campaign in a council they're not even in yet, while having nothing constructive of their own to offer... that's some seriously hypocritical, amateurish and insulting stuff right there, I don't care who you are.
Makes me feel dirty for being respectful in my conversations with the two of them during the TA.
Politicians
Fair enough.
But I don't understand your desire to prohibit "cross-council" politics.
It's not logical.
I'm based in ATL. But the NYC/SLC/CVG rep's vote on the MEC most definitely has an effect on me. I don't have a vote in their LEC election but I can and will express an opinion on who I think the NYC pilots should elect. I'm not hiding that I'm ATL based. The New York or Salt Lake pilots are free to ignore my posts or they can listen to my arguments, evaluate whether they have any merit and then decide for themselves.
So here you go:
I would urge every pilot in every council to remove any rep who voted for this TA. Thank them for their service and send them back to flying the line.
They proclaimed loud and clear that this TA is the best they can do. It obviously wasn't sufficient. Now someone else should get a try.
