This is directed at the FDX ALPA leadership and NC chair candidates--
What a bunch of losers you are, with an issue as important as this that affects the immediate future of relations vis a vis our pilot group and the company, not ONE of the candidates has seen fit to introduce himself nor were they compelled to. Its as if we were chosing an NC chair by shooting at a barrel of fish, blindly. Who are these guys? Buds of some of you, or "good guys" who bought the beer on a layover. Meh! Thursday the process ends, and will we hear about who was "selected" from on high above, or maybe not. Open session, hardly.
I think you might be overreacting a little. This has turned out to be a somewhat spur of the moment deal with the "loss" of FE. I think it is ok to point a finger at our ALPA leadership for handling this so poorly, but unfair to make dispairaging remarks about the candidates who are willing to step up to volunteer for this thankless job.
