I took a nap and re-read my comments. I think I'm coming off angrier than I actually am. To me this is more like a discussion on how to make the best clock for people that will come after us rather than a statement on who's around and above us right now.

Stewards are not administrative assistants to EXCO/E-Board. Union stewards are representatives for the pilots in grievance proceedings, as well as in disciplinary hearings. They also often work as an intermediary between pilots and management in day to day contractual disputes. Think of it as an LEC rep in an ALPA shop. They're elected because they're direct intermediaries between pilots and management, and pilots should have a say in who those people are.
