Attacking your union prior to section 6 seems like stupid idea to me when you already have the tools you need to make your union responsive.
Dividing the pilot group prior to section six seems like a stupid idea to me.
Constantly aiming your guns inside the circle and blasting away seems like a stupid idea to me.
Fracturing the the piloting profession by pulling up the representational ladder for the haves and throwing the have nots under the bus seems like a stupid idea to me.

Wrap yourself in the flag and call it a democracy all you want.. but it is not. I don't know about you, but I got no vote for Grand Poobah. Oh.. you meant
representative democracy... I see... where a handful of people get to decide what's best for all of us. Kind of like the federal government. and we all know how well that is working these days.
As for the rest of your post...
You used the word stupid 3 times. I get it. You are satisfied with the direction and leadership at national. We have differing opinions. Lee has 6 months to convince me I am wrong.
Note: not holding breath for real meaningful change.
