As I wrote last week the majority of the LEC reps had already decided who our new MEC president would be. Today it became official. Our new chairman did not want the strike vote to be taken and also stated recently that he believes in “proactive engagement “ with the company. In my opinion all 9 reps who voted for Hartmann deserve to be recalled. This is a huge step backwards, yet again, for ALPA. Expect a substandard TA in the near future.
