why? The 2014 December TA/CBA that passed was me. I was the tie breaking vote. It initially failed, I demanded a wording change to remove language that thanked ALPA national for their help getting this deal. We got more help from the APA back then. All we got from ALPA was please take this deal. Anyway, the wording was removed, motioned to reconsider and we voted again and it passed. Yours truly being the swing vote both times.
the NY base closure LOA was me.... the ALPA lawyers refused to go back in and ask what we wanted. The NY FO rep and myself went in without the lawyers and got everything we told the lawyers to go ask for, but had refused.

don’t believe everything you’ve been told. We had a really good MEC back then that worked through pretty tough times

Now, if you mean to imply the company would walk in, see me, and about face and leave.... I’d agree with that. Pretty sure the MEC threatened the company that they’d hire me as a outside contract negotiator..... they responded, “you wouldn't really do that, would you?” (By the way, for our MEC folks, if you need somebody to do or tell them something you aren’t comfortable doing, I’ll do it.... they can’t fire me anymore or even threaten it like they used to) LOL

Jerry Glass did tell a room full of management back in 2014 that I was the anti-Christ. I just called him a jackass. They threatened to fire me over that one too.
