1. EVERY current DAL LEC member needs to be voted out
2. EVERY former NWA LEC member who didn't stand up to Lee needs to be voted out
3. These chaps need to be replaced with folks who pledge to ensure THEY will run the MEC and NOT the chairman
4. These same chaps need to pledge to vote for a new MEC chairman thus allowing Lee to replace Prater

Even if these new folks weren't totally on board with no further erosion on scope, at least our MEC would be operating as a democratic body - as it is supposed to be. Then the issue would live or die based on the majority viewpoint of our pilot group - not the opinion of one man.
