Yes, there are many who complain. The reason they complain is because they are not being represented. CALALPA has not been representing this pilot group. They have been representing the company. We seem to have the same people in our union, just changing seats. Hopefully, this election will shake things up. I couldn't make it to either rally. Why? Because I was flying. Is that a good enough excuse?......... I am a dues paying member. How dare you imply that if a member is unable to take time away from his or her life, that they are not equal with those that have the time. That's a low blow. I have the right to question everything that my union does. If you don't like that, then you need some help. I am done discussing this with you. You need to look at the big picture and stop drinking the kool aid!
Try me..............I'm all ears. Our pilots seem to NEVER be represented well. I don't care if the Pope was elected to run our MEC, he wouldn't be holy enough for some of our pilots. Election after election after election has produced the SAME results. So, who is good enough? As far as flying during the rally's...........I am a JUNIOR captain who was able to get the time off. (Amazing how that works, isn't it?) If you're willing, there's usually a way. Excuses are an easy way out. As far as taking time away from a family, etc.,.........well SOMEONE has to do it. Why not you? You don't have to discuss anything with me if you don't like. That's your perrogative. As far as drinking kool aid.............whatever....
