It is the precise reason that I believe that the IBT should not represent pilots.
What exactly are you talking about? This concerns a matter where a group of people are asking that the IBT step aside after years of wasting money on this group. LBFO are company threats. If you mean the the International can override an agreement at the Local level, then I disagree. The International has to keep the interest of all its Locals at heart. If one goes off the reservation, then they have to be brought back. That is a philosophical argument for another thread. But this is not the case in the argument posted. It simply a decision by the pilots to decide if they want to be represented. Skylease pulled similar nonsense a few years back with predictable results.
