I'm guessing its not about this one LEC election. Its about their information monopoly.
The idea that ordinary line pilots dared to use their e-mail list really shocked them.
That's an existential threat to their power.
Look for a "policy clarification" at the National level re: ALPA e-mail.
I'd add that it must also have come as a shock to see how this unfettered arena of ideas could grow outside of their direct control such that one of the regular line pilots could conversate with the masses, prove his worth and then in time have such a strong following urging and pushing him to run for office when elections neared and willing to stick with him if he gets there.
When you control communication you control everything, so to watch this one simple channel of communication circumvent so much so well must at the least be earth-shattering.
Hence its intriguing to see just how silent and absent some of the usual crowd are and all we're left with is some hit-and-runs by low-time or first-time posters. This is not how things are supposed to happen, this is outside of the template.
Congrats Guard Dude. You started it. 16,668 posts and 1.6 million views later its still going.
