No system is fully insulated from cronyism. My point was simply that opening the MEC Chairman vote to 16,000+ pilots, the very people who the organization represents, provides much more insulation from cronyism than a poll among a couple dozen politicians. We should have a say as to who fills the role of our most prominent representative.

Let the entire pilot group vote and the game changes entirely. We’d be more likely to see a wider selection of quality candidates.

Personally, I’m not a fan of the other guy either. Both were long-time insiders with more concern for their own interests than the interests of the pilot group.

Ancman I think your beef is less with the way MEC Chair gets elected and more the unilateral authority they have to settle grievances and how this most recent case went down. In my view making the MEC Chair an even bigger popularity contest solves nothing, and if anything it could invigorate the winner to believe the merit of reaching such status entitles them to make decisions against the will of the MEC. I'd be more interested in further limiting their power rather than giving them justification to consolidate more of it.
