The third hand biased side I heard is that Capt. Barton has been engaging in activities such as changing the ALPA venue which had been unchanged for many years to a new location that is less convenient for most people who would like to attend and then not publishing the proposals that have been submitted and also not announcing the date and when the date was announced it was at a time not previously used for meetings and a time deemed by some to be a difficult time and all of that supposedly being done to keep himself in office to wit his opposition believes he arrived at the office originally through equivalent shenanigans and is trying to use shenanigans like these to make it all the way to MEC Chair and ultimately ALPA national,

BUT

I have no data or facts and am merely repeating 3rd party hearsay of the general nonsense.

The only fact I do know is that based on his writing during the SLI I, personally, do not think he should be in any current ALPA office.
