Nu,

Love you like a Bro' but respectfully disagree. There is a way ALPA, or any large organization, does business. Understanding how the machine runs helps a Rep be more effective in representing his, or her, pilots.

Also a Rep needs to understand the machine well enough to be able to think independently. While our MEC and Chair have done an overall excellent job, there are still some areas that really need reconsideration.

For instance, scope. ... I enthusiastically support those who understand that unity is the key to strength and relevance in our association. That makes the "establishment" a little nervous, but, we sure need to stop using scope to define the flying we DON'T perform.
