For many years, at many airlines, pilots did not get to vote on the contracts. Only the MEC officers got a vote.

That has changed recently at most airlines, but my point is that there is nothing in the law that requires a membership vote to sign a new contract.

It is in the USAPA constitution that members vote on every important issue. What an amazing new concept, the dues paying line pilots make the decisions regarding their destiny.

The first vote during the birth of USAPA was to fire the ALPA union as their representative.
