For me the issue is a cost benefit analysis, if there isn't a reason to spend the money, we shouldn't. Turnout to LEC meetings are terrible at almost all carriers by the way.
I believe they were filling an interim vacancy, but don't quote me.
The way I see it, we are going to feed the ALPA Leviathan the same 2% either way. We will NEVER see a SMRA refund again, so may as well spend it. More reps makes it harder to corrupt, or at least makes it harder for enough mec members to agree on the type and extent of the corruption. More reps means less work / rep = a greater chance of getting a call back.
