The MEC Chairman works for the MEC. Some members of the MEC were unhappy with the job the MEC Chairman was doing. There was a vote per the ALPA Constitution. A new chairman was elected. You weren't there and you have no idea about why the MEC was unhappy with the MEC Chairman. Yet that doesn't stop you from maligning people merely on hearsay. Someone told me that NuGuy hates puppies and runs over kittens with his car, see how easy that is?

This brings me back to the concept that some people don't respect their fellow pilots and don't respect democracy. The MEC holds an election and one person wins and one person loses. TANSTAAFL might call that a "coup" or use some other word, but I call it "democracy". No one on the MEC that voted either way was recalled or seriously questioned about their motives by their own pilots, it was a small group that invented a story to fit their own view of the world. They don't like real democracy so there had to be some nefarious dealings, how else could their wishes not be followed. Really, the arrogance of that view is astonishing.

Lee Moak was elected by the MEC in a fair vote. Some people were unhappy with the outcome, but that is democracy. He was reelected unanimously by the same people two years later. Maybe they were happy with his work. He ran unopposed for the position when the MEC's were merged. You could have run, yet you try to pass off his election as some farce.
