When pilots checking in were identified as being in favor of the recall and they were not carrying three proxies, they were directed to this table to be assigned proxies that had no proxy holder's name on them. Several pilots complained to the council chairman (Breelman), but he blew them off because he himself was in favor of the recall. Nice the way he threw his secretary treasurer under the bus.
"For a proxy to be valid, it must be filled out entirely by the guy giving the proxy. He cannot leave blank any portion of the form, particularly the name of the pilot he is giving his proxy to."
Where exactly is that written? (For reference)
So either the person carrying the proxy or the person requesting the his/her proxy be carried must completly fill out the proxy...Is that what your saying? Both pilots would need to be in front of one another? Are the signatures going to be verified and checked by ALPA? Are electronic signatures authorized?
If ALPA had any interest in ensuring the integrity of the vote then they would have pilots in good standing supporting a resolution for recall send in a specific notarized request over a specific time period once the recall has been requested. Like I said earlier the only thing I witnessed was specific, targeted attempts to suppress the vote by a select number of DALPA reps.
The chairman didn't throw anyone under the bus, instead he listened and respected the interests, cares, and concerns of the pilots in his council. I know that might be a foreign concept to people like you, but once your back on the line and done attempting to undermine the betterment of this pilot group, it won't matter.
