I don't really care either way. I was just curious.
It was for all of the ASA pilots who read this board, and not the internal one (that few people even know exists).

Why the secrecy? Because ALPA chest thumpers like you and Rez cringe when 10 year ALPA veterans get replaced by new faces, and call your buddies in Herndon to drop the hammer on them as soon as they take office.

There will be some serious change in the way the ASA MEC is run, and it will be changes that are good for the ASA pilot group, not necessarily what's good for Alpa with a capital A. The reason the incumbents got thrown out is that they've been too focused on Alpa, Dalpa, and the FFD Task Force for too long, and not focused enough on ASA. THAT is what's going to change. We elected reps who are going to (to steal JM's terms) take a pragmatic approach to issues and do what's best for the pilot group AND the long term health of the company.
