As a furloughed Mesa FO (ie, very junior pilot), how have you seen this info? Usually this info is highly guarded, so I'm surprised to see you claim to have access to all of MAG ALPA and ALPA National's financials.
If I had the time to run for FO rep I'd do it. But I can't guarantee that I'd be able or willing to allocate enough personal time to do the job properly. . . . If you are going to be a rep or another MEC member, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO, so I don't want to hear any excuses of why you can't do this and why you can't answer your phone.
While you may not have time to be an FO rep (not all do), did you volunteer for any committees, or do anything to help your pilots and ALPA out? The most effective change happens from within.
