Why vote For anything then, right? I mean, isn’t that where we are going?
Why even have a TA process, review, or bickering session about what is and isn’t in our forthcoming AIP? Just let the MEC approve it.
Why have elections, because you know, other people know better.
And yes, no one knows the other pilots personal concerns, conditions, health, financial status or otherwise, nor should they, right? Or screw it, let’s just eliminate the rest of privacy now too because, someone else knows better. Pathetic.
You vote for things when YOU decide (or at least have control over) the outcome. ALPAs position is alrwady to oppose any increase in the mandatory retirement age...and nobody else gives a rats ass what we think or how we vote. IMO a vote would have no material effect on the outcome. The only impact it MAY have is to change the ALPA position if a majority voted in favor of an increase.
What effect do you think a vote would have?
