We all need to start looking into the mirror and think about where we want this union to go. Bob has no play in this union. He is one person. He knows that. Don't be Bob. Be a Captain who mentors the "young" pilots, explaining the detriments of flying DPs or the detriments of not belonging actively to the union. Be a captain who supports paying union members who are (or getting) involved in making this union stronger and smarter. We need to do the right thing by voting responsibly and looking out for each other. It's hard to argue that flying DPs is responsible. DP fliers know it sets a precedence, which the company tracks and uses to their advantage.

If one doesn't like how things are run or how situations have been resolved, then it's time for action. Elections/Recalls are tools to "help" the leadership understand where we, as FedEx ALPA (not alpa national), want this FedEx union to go. It seems to me that we voted yes for the FDA by 68%. It also seems that at the road show for the FDA that fear was thrown out at us due to scope for international flying. Elect leadership who will provide factual data and make the informaiton transparent to the membership, so we may vote on facts and not on certain individuals' biased views.
