Be careful throwing support and $$$ at someone that you don’t truly know.
First I know very little, in fact nothing about Lin's personal life or what she does with her spare time. But I do know this, She deserves the support of her SFOFO family of pilots.
I would rather get a little dirty by caring for one of ours, even when they may have some hidden dirt, than standing back and doing nothing. The world is full of people on the sidelines.
ALPA's issue is they have no legal nor fiduciary right or responsibility to represent or help those outside our brothers and sisters of the cockpits of UAL. I would imagine the SFO Council has been warned by National that their actions put the Association at risk. Hey, we can't even get our 5% back due to lawsuits from within the ALPA house.
It is the right thing to do, as individuals, to show our support for her.
Sadly, this one is pretty locked up tight and the most we can do at this point is to let everyone in the SFOFO Office we are behind Lin.
