You may not care.....but I don't want my union leadership to have anywhere to go when they leave office....except BACK to the house they have built.
you laude moak as having put 'a lot' of money in your pocket......but what you are apparently unable to comprehend...is it is that very same organic entity he has so richly benefitted from.....is also, in its gross failings....responsible for taking millions out of that very same pocket.
BobZ....very well said.
And several of the younger Alpa YES reps have seen this play out and aspired for the same path and payout. Apparently selling out your pilots that trusted you and elected you can be a lucrative business if left unchallenged by their constituents.
They are the next generation of Moak disciples 2.0 thirsty for greater wealth under the auspice of volunteering to represent pilots.
I will give Moak credit in one area though....at least he was original. Constructive engagement....that guy was slick. Lee left the bank with a truck full of money and the rest of his minions that helped enrich him just got pinched. Off to the clink boys....enjoy the line.
