A few things:
Not everyone that signed that petition realized what they were signing, or the ripples that it would cause. They didn't realize that there was an ulterior motive behind the petition - I'm sure we'll get to that in due course.
MH turned up at the FLL meeting last night and was rude/disruptive. Wouldn't quiet down, to let others speak. Forced his agenda (shared by the DFW 4, I'm sure). Was eventually escorted out. SM and PS didn't threaten him, as he told everyone on the whatsapp group. The only people that back up his version of events are the Kiwi and a few other vocal voices. I never saw Bendo there, but if he was, it's funny that MH showed up to cause problems at the same time....
The ORD, DFW and FLL whatsapp groups are moderated by friends of MH or CB (Audi). Why would a DFW FO moderate the ORD group? Is someone controlling the narrative?
MH left Chautauqua under a cloud. I was there. He's remembered fondly as a pathological liar/borderline sociopath. More to come on that.
CB has a colorful history also. More later.

Why would this stuff matter? Quite simply, character matters.

Do you want to push back negotiations another year? Southwest negotiated for 3 years before this latest TA. We need to settle down and plan for at least another year of this. If you have concerns, call a rep. Vote. MH is an agent provocateur. Everything he does/has a hand in, should be viewed objectively. The FLL drama was carefully staged. MH is no victim and he certainly isn't a leader.

I look forward to your comments and attacks.
