Good luck catching him in ATL. He's a NYC based pilot.

Running for a Rep position and already thinks he knows better than DALPA's attorneys. Every single court challenge to employer mandates has been thrown out yet the OP wants to waste DALPA time and energy fighting a losing battle. Not that he has any chance of winning the election but his latest Campaign letter was a doozy. It's like having the My Pillow Guy running for Rep. Here's a snippet for your entertainment:

I am in contact with a group called US Freedom Flyers. They are a group of transportation industry employees who have come together to fight federal and state mandates which aim to strip Citizens of their right to medical freedom. Together, in partnership with Health Freedom Defense Fund and The Davillier Law Group, US Freedom Flyers is leading the way to the preservation of Informed Consent and defending Constitutional rights. They have already gathered massive resources that eclipse those of ALPA, especially in the legal department. Their aim is to push back with the full force of all airlines and concerned passengers, and not let individual grass roots efforts get squashed.

Yeah I wouldn't want this guy to be my rep. I don't want my dues money going toward that losing battle.

Its a little more complicated than that. Sometimes a tactical loss can aid in a longer term strategy. If we rarely fight anything will the company get more aggressive in violating our PWA? I am not saying that this is a fight worth having, just that sometimes you have to fight even if you think you will lose.

Logical talk like that is heresy on a web forum. How dare you!! (Sarcasm for those whose detector is on MEL)

A great counter point even if I don’t agree with fighting this particular battle.

I'm pretty sure the OP isn't the type who's thinking about strategic losses..... #chess #checkers

Sure he is. The strategic loss of the cost of a couple Starbucks is small compared to the gain of FPL and the joys (if you don’t get punched) of the hospitality suite.

Question: if you're NFLY, are you allowed to go to the crew room?

I get that, but isn't this more in the wheelhouse of the ALPA PAC, and not DALPA?
