And “elected” is quoted because the vast majority do not vote, and the union knows this and capitalizes from this by running yes men. And then the “elected” appoint those they want into critical roles.
Ergo, you wanting us to unite around our present leadership would be like shackling ourselves to the Titanic because it’s the honorable thing to do. no thanks. i choose life. make your $. invest it wisely and don’t count on ALPA for nothing.
The elected system has term limits. Numerous representatives just took new term seats last month if my memory serves me rite. New blood all the time. This allows for a constant new set of eyes. We get to elect these individuals. We had a change in Officers also a few months ago. They are doing a job 99.5% of pilots don’t want to do. You should try calling them and thanking them for doing what you wont do. Instead you throw stones. Disgusting to say the least. Why don’t you run for one of the positions if you are better suited? Then we can throw stones towards you. Try something new. Show some gratitude and Unity.
