this stinks to high hell. Fred was the right guy at the right time for this job. I didn't know him well before he was selected as the NC Chair.. I looked into his resume when his name came up. He's been active in the union, done a good job and comes well recommended from friends of mine who know him and I trust their judgment.
DW elected to remove him. He needs to answer why. He's over qualified? working too hard? too devoted to the crew force? knows what he's doing? has a negotiating history for the company? knows the opposition negotiators well and has a rapport with them? there's gotta be a better reason than the ones I've come up with...
we need to get him reinstated. Can't get through to any block reps, they're all in Vegas..

The bigger problem I have... Is that FE was very qualified and extremely smart, etc.. WHY didn't DW try to talk him out of resigning [It appears he was/is the best man for the job]... Which leads me to believe that yall are right that he was fired by DW! Ever since I was was at one of those Prater 'Takin it in the @ss' road shows and heard DW cronies laughing at the questions (OUR questions), I have had ZERO faith in OUR/THEIR MEC... I thought when Tony C & Albie got on board things would change but now I don't know what it will take to de-rail this train???

Anyone post anything on the ALPA board about this? Maybe we need an influx of questions over there to get a public discussion going. Just a thought. Albie, you game? Tony C, are you still alive? What happened to you guys?
