I agree with that. It all starts with a strong MEC and LEC, if they are weak you do not have a chance. However, ask any ALPA MEC or LEC representative and they can tell you first hand the amount of tools and talent available to them at ALPA National, any and all help is always just a call away. Sadly, not many out of the LEC/MEC loop are aware of this.
