All, Baseball's a decent person. He's just expressing a different opinion on the subject. He's done it in a respectful manner.

I disagree with his opinion on this, but I have wondered if it's necessary to have the MEC Chair as the ALPA BOD member. Delta's BOD member is not their MEC Chair.

Here's DALPA's BOD member:
Douglas R. Ralph
Douglas R. Ralph has been a Delta pilot since 1991 and is currently a pilot of a Boeing 767ER aircraft. He was an active duty pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps for six years prior to joining Delta. He was then a pilot in the U.S. Naval Reserves for 17 years, retiring with the rank of Captain in 2001. Mr. Ralph was designated by the Delta MEC as the Pilot Nominee and was elected to the Board in 2015. Mr. Ralph is also the Chair of the Investor Relations Committee of the Delta MEC and a member of the Government Affairs Committee of the Delta MEC. Age 60.
Delta Air Lines, Inc. - Governance - Board of Directors


I think that DALPA's BOD solution is better than UALALPA's solution, as it doesn't tie their MEC Chair's hands with nondisclosure issues and stuff that Baseball has pointed out. I haven't checked to see what APA and SWAPA do.
