If the answer to either of those questions is yes, would you be OK with farming out the entirety of our union leadership to someone like the Teamsters?

You are mixing terms. A pilot on sick leave or temporary disability is still a member in good standing.
Should a rep resign after going on sick leave short term disability following a common orthopedic surgery?
Should a rep on NQAT resign due to the company’s logistical problems with the training pipeline?
An ALPA volunteer/worker/whatever in either of those cases shouldn’t be getting Flight Pay Loss. They shouldn’t be getting a dime more than if they were on the line slugging it out with the rest of us.
There was a resolution on this last year. In March the Delta MEC unanimously voted it down.

And as I have said before I am a 30+ year ALPA supporting koolaid drinker, but this is too much for even me.
I did feel like we should honor the unions request to not discuss contract negotiations in public, but with what’s going on in-house at DALPA, the divide within our union at this particular moment is far worse than any pilots post about what they’re willing to settle for IRT our contract negotiations.

Find it a little disturbing that the LEC and the MEC were unanimous in asking the pilots for mass participation and a strong "strike" vote which the pilot group delivered....
then immediately had a razor thin vote on a replacement MEC chair immediately thereafter, presumably right before a contract "end game" and/or a pilot strike.
Not a good look. Not a good look at all. Very disappointing.
