I thought of putting this on C&R, but after seeing guys argue with up about A3 DH, I decided that even. I am not hardheaded enough to go through that. Besides, I'd like the opinions of pilots from other groups.

Has anyone worked under block representation? Pros, cons? It seems like it would a good first step towards helping with APA dysfunction.

I'd like to see the board cut, maybe by half. How do 22 pilots ever agree on anything? And it seems that our interests run more along seniority lines than bases. For example, the CLT reps are both group 2 or 3 captains. Even if they want to, they can't fully understand the wants/needs of junior F/Os. They were once junior F/Os, but a long time ago and there are a lot of differences now.

Thoughts? Pitfalls? One pitfall I can see would be the workload per member. But maybe we could have other volunteers to handle things like Chief pilot visits and allow the reps to just handle BOD work.

Fire away.
