The DPA emails from shortly after that (April 27, 2016) indicate that Tim was unhappy with ALPA representation and (my interpretation) be unwilling to have them represent him anyways in a grievance. Being told by experts that there was no grievance didn't stop TC in this instance, just like it didn't stop him from pursuing retribution for his furlough by going on the rivet campaign. He's a guy who is unable to accept an answer he doesn't like, even if every expert is telling him different, and he'd be happy to have ALPA exposed to a frivolous charge for a crazy grievance.
Or he's just trying to be contumacious.
Contumacious in my case refers to the NO vote, kinda like wearing the Rocket Surgeon moniker with pride.
I get the DPA emails and recently started reading them as my confidence in ALPA's leadership to RESTORE our contract is waning. JM's words. I supported him then because I believed in his ability and integrity. Now I question his willingness to achieve RESTORATION without giving concessions. QOL needs to be RESTORED too.
