To be clear, I have no problem with you or anyone else posting in support of the current leadership. I have a big problem with muting others as long as their comments are not in violation of the TOS here. Transparency is very important, and there's been precious little of that.

I personally do not consider a lot of ALPA experience to be an asset in the next LEC ballot. I want people who have been out there flying the line and know what it's like. A lot of FPL is a disqualifier for my vote.
No doubt the TA is a big failure. I am waiting for TA2. And too many pilots are holding the union and not the company accountable. Union is democracy, pilots get a voice, the company is autocratic, no voice. Yet the UPA is an agreement between the company and the pilots.
Do you want a PVT taking a control seat in an emergency or an off line ATP rated airline pilot? If low experienced guys take control all they can do is say NO.
Finally, in general and not towards anyone specific, how about respectable campaigns in union affairs. Let's stop the lies and gossip.
