It is worth remembering that MEM Captains tried to put forth Charlie K. as a possible rep last year--you want to talk about an agent for management?

Keep in mind that there are a lot more people with views like Pete T. who would love to get in office and sell you down the river. The two you voted out are practically socialists (the real definition) by comparison.

Fun story about Pete T. Back when I was there MSP ops was still in a trailer. This was right after 9/11 when we had the bogus "furlough" at NWA's direction to make a grab for federal funds. I will *never* forget Pete crowing about all the open time he was picking up with those guys gone (they were furloughed after bids were published so everything went to open time).

This was the same time Pete was running for MEC office back when it was only EXA 129. This type of pilot is your real enemy in the ranks--and the leadership needs to recognize it before the junior pilots team up with anyone out of frustration and recall the wrong people.

I am told that the LEC updates are the only communication pilots are receiving. Not good.
