Except at Delta or United, that guy is managing a team of hundreds of staff, lawyers, and volunteers (and they pay less dues for all that). Our EXCO is literally Andrew and a few of his trusted buddies who have no accountability to the pilot group especially after he got his new bylaws and got rid of elected stewards.



Exactly! Andrew runs it like a kingdom not a corporation. Everything has to be personally approved by him. He delegates nothing and trusts no one then whines how he works 25 days a month. Plus the sleazy Vegas lawyer who is fleecing us since he can't even seem to win an arbitration, much less negotiate an RLA contract. We've got the money to hire a nationally known aviation law firm, yet we stick with Andrew's buddy who has no RLA/NMB negotiating experience except with us, because Andrew can control that situation.
