I'm confused about what they're being recalled for (well, actually I'm not). First it was promoted as performance (the Flower Fund for Chrissakes) even though the recall started within minutes of the MEC elections, then it was for voting against JM (actually it's for BB) and voting against 82% of the pilots (purposely twisting vote logic and conclusions to distort). Now, it's performance again (we don't get along so it's their fault).
So, the average line pilot, many of whom have no clue to ALPA's insider club and the damage they've caused, now are beginning to wonder if there's smoke there must be fire.
In round 1 of recalls, there were clear derelictions of duty coupled with a demeaning and condescending attitude towards the constituents.
I've not heard one instance of these two mocking anyone's Yes or No vote or saying "the smart vote is Yes (or No), which means you're stupid if you're not voting the same as the rep.
The irony in all this is that the first round of reps almost cost us $1B (?) and the second round of reps (including the two FOs up for recall) salvaged it.
If not getting along in C44 puts an extra $1B in our pockets, I'm all for them not getting along going forward.
MECs that got along have cost me millions and I'm not exaggerating.
You are grossly exaggerating. (Right up there with your C2K belongs to Dubinsky comment.)
Thank John Malone and your 44 Captain reps for this contract. It was achieved in spite of your 44 FO reps efforts to derail it. They could have cost you dearly had it not been for the leadership of Captain Malone. Then to double down on their "fantastic" representation, they vote for a MEC Chair who the overwhelming majority of 44 did not want.
Time to make 44 relevant again. The FO reps must go (IMO)
