But to give you the benefit of the doubt, let me say it again.

The Master Chairman is responsible to and held accountable by the MEC. If they are unhappy with his approach, they can direct change. If he doesn't change, they can fire him. They (the individual elected reps) control the process, and set the tone. Now, I know a few who strongly oppose him, but the majority rules. And after 5 years, with multiple changes along the way, and not one single person who elected LM five years ago is still there, yet he still has the support of the majority of the elected reps. So unless you believe he is a hypnotist, then you are wrong -- it is the elected reps that have (wisely, in my opinion), chosen the path we are on. And until a MAJORITY of reps decide to move away from that path, that is the path we will stay on.

Also, and I know you guys hate it when we say this, but everyone is moving toward that approach at the present, because the alternative has been shown to be an abject failure every where it was in place, with AMR and LCC two shining examples. APA has changed; USAPA may never, but then they will likely never move off their pathetic rates either.

So quit blaming one man. If you want radical change; direct your reps. THAT'S where the responsibility lies, as it should.
