Can you cite an example when the pilot group did not support his actions?

I understand why you might feel "silenced". If I recently found myself buried underneath an 82% landslide, I'd probably feel that way too.

ALPA is run by the pilots who bother to serve and take the heat from the rest of us who don't bother to serve. It becomes "politics" only because we sometimes disagree with the decisions, choices, or priorities of the pilots who are more immersed in it than we are.

Recalls are our only accountability tool, since our reps aren't bound by any resolution we pass that tells them exactly how to vote. Recalls for anything other than violating the rules or failing to act as our reps are smelly, but within the rights of the line pilots. I trust you don't disagree with that.

If you were one of those expressing outrage at the recalls that took place after TA1, then I apologize for not remembering your posts. If you were one of those who thought those recalls were justified because of the membership ratification results in 2015, then I would appreciate reading your explanation for the double standard.
