NO. We don't want to inter-marry.
Management is management and union is union. Let's not pretend to be something or someone we are not. It will make it hard to hold management accountable if we have a pilot on the BOD "guiding" them. We can "guide" management through mutually beneficial collaborative projects when and where appropriate. Let's not even pretend this is a good idea. Bad-bad idea.
management will use your "psuedo-managemnt" posiiton against you and the pilots. They will manipulate you and leverage you. Bad, bad idea.
