Quote: What was/is the point of this election?

If you want a strong, national union then you pick the best person, period. From whatever airline.

If your idea is that your MEC only vote for the people from your own company, no matter what the qualifications of the other candidates, the you will NEVER have a strong, national union.

That was my point when I said I was glad to see our MEC endorse UNANIMOUSLY Capt. Stratton from FDX. As much as I would hope that the CAL candidate was the best person for the job in a perfect world, if there was someone out there who would do the job better, I expected my reps to support that candidate. It appears this was the case and my MEC was not a rubber stamp for Prater just because he is CAL and they are CAL.
