Everything is a story, it's how we're wired. Have you ever seen a successful elected official, ALPA or otherwise, run a successful campaign or inspire change based solely on reciting bullet points? Of course you haven't, there's always bias, rhetoric, color, and pandering....through story.
In the digital world we live in it's never been more important for organizations to have a suitable, nimble, responsive, and usable platform to share, and guide, the collective dialog. Herndon continues to fall short of the obligation to provide that resource just as the UAL MEC continues to ignore the importance of such reach. As a union member, I'm not happy about that.
I definitely understood your point, and so I thought I made that clear as it relates to me (or other MIGS) telling ALPA about their opinions on communications, etc.
However, the story is about the UAL Chief Story-Teller, some lady that used to work for Oprah. I am pretty sure she doesn't work for ALPA.
I honestly don't have time for "collective dialog." The more touchey-feeley it is the more I am turned off. I am a "just the facts" type of person. I think younger high-school age people may be interested in stories if they can put their smart-phones down and pay attention, but busy professionals really don't.
