Yes I can. My opinion is that people are too afraid of him to run. That is typical of personality cults. How many people run against Kim Jong Il?

I don't believe there IS widespread dissatisfaction among the MEC. I believe there IS among the membership, but that doesn't matter at ALPA.

You mean like NWA pilots having gotten a worse deal in arbitration than they would have gotten had they accepted Lee's offer in February of 2008?

As I said earlier, the MEC is probably satisfied. Especially if they agree with Lee that RJ's are good for Delta Air Lines.

That doesn't happen with personality cults.
