The problem at DALPA right now is that the democratic foundation of our union is being perverted by a dictator. If the system was working, all parts of the list would be represented. That's why we have FO reps, Capt reps and reps from all bases. This by definition makes the representation disparate across the pilot group. But here's the problem: none of that matters if everything is run by the personality cult of one man.
The LEC needs to recall the current chairman and replace him with a person committed to aggressively stating and pursuing the majority view of the MEC. That single step will produce a better union that is closer to the hearts and minds of the pilot group.

Carl,
The election was a month ago and there was only one candidate. If there was some subversion of the process, couldn't the MEC have found one other person to run? What about you? Sounds like you have some beef with Lee but that doesn't seem to be the case with the people that elected him. The same people that elected him are the same people that would recall him a month later, does that make any sense at all to you? You just sound like a guy with sour grapes about something.
