Maybe we should acknowledge that both situations are subject to individual interpretations, and aren't a good target for blanket generalizations. So whoever wrote about "morals changing" should consider that they too practice "Yeah, but" logic depending upon their personal opinion. The alternative is the changing morals thingy.
That's me you're quoting. I have no morals and acknowledge same. I kid.
I think we can - no, must! - remove reps who can cause us harm. I see no harm being done to me or anyone else here by the MEC chairman vote except those who are denied a spot at the ALPA trough currently. Not all who drink from it are abusers, by the way. Just some. And many of those are the leaders of the C44 recall.
What's ironic is to watch the same folks who howled at the moon over 2015 recalls say how unfair it was and should only be used for crimes and fraud and other high crimes. Now, suddenly, the recall is appropriate any time anyone sees fit.
Suddenly, the holier than thou ones now think two wrongs do make a right.
At least they should own up to that.
I don't remember seeing a rep recalled over an election vote.
And I've never seen CA reps openly claim the FOs must vote the same as they do.
Interesting times ahead. This vote has way more consequences than most pilots know as to how this may change things for our union for a long, long time.
If chaos, more division and more recalls are desired for many months ahead go for it. Keep in mind, the end result will be no one ever willing to step into these roles again unless they're the chosen ones. Dats a fack.
