NO EXCUSE
If you really want a case of heartburn, check out what ALPA National staff salaries, bonuses and per diem allowances are. You'll see a
real waste of your dues money. Having known some of the administrative assistants who are pulling down $100,000+ a year, makes you sick to your stomach.
Gads, I'm getting sick just thinking about it !
See ya Mates

and lies out.

The vetting was the responsibility of the "committee" who picked him from hundreds...the committee is headed by and hand picked by John Sluys; the same guy who improperly used Flight Pay Loss money to run Praters election campaign. Just like a couple of others did.
It worked. He won. And they've been on the gravy train fed by dues ever since.
So if we're gonna demand anything, it should be the removal of the committee for not properly vetting the guy. By the time Jan got it; they no doubt insisted he was golden and pushed back hard if he tried to vet the guy.
Jan is a stand up person. He did not deserve to be slimed by this crowd.
