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.
My beef with Lee is as follows:
1. He was quoted in numerous publications that he would not run for an additional term as MEC chair after the merger's DCC. He said if he were drafted, he would refuse to serve.
2. All the early indications are that his personal view of RJ's being good for Delta Airlines are what won the day. Even though the Chairman has no vote, his cult of personality won the day. THAT is a subversion of the democratic process created by ALPA.
Even if I agreed with Lee's position (which I do not), you can't have a one man show. It is too risky.
This is my beef with Lee. Any other questions?
