Good points, but wrong.
Captain Jeff Clay of Comair 5191 was trained at Delta's very own Comair Aviation Academy.
I flew with him and I always got the impression that safety was his highest priority. He ran a professional and company-standard flight deck, and looked forward to going home to his wife and young daughters after each trip.
Was Clay fatigued? Perhaps. Distracted? Probably. Sloppy? No. Careless? On that day, when it mattered most, yes... for about two minutes... and people died.

He sure stagnated there ... he's in DC9 school now. He has been through a lot, matured, listens and considers facts logically. When he and I have been on different sides of issues he's gathered information, asked intelligent questions and reached rational conclusions. IMHO he would do an excellent job if voted into office.

Correct. The rub comes with whether the trip was in the domestic or the ER bid package. The company cannot call out a domestic guy for a ER category trip and vice versa without paying premium pay to a couple guys. The domestic guy also has the restriction of not doing augmented trips etc. There's more to it but that's basically it.

You don't think his position on DOH (and a junior USAir-East spouse) are a potentially worrisome "conflict of interest"?
When consolidation mania hits again, I want my representative voting for my interest, not the interests of their spouse's airline.

ard to call it stagnation when you're a lineholder in the MD88 Capt (around 395) and you voluntarily bid to be in the top 20 of the DC9 Capt.

Are you a single subject/topic voter?

Does anyone have any other opinions on the candidates running for C44 office. I do not know them personally and find the letters typical and boilerplate (except for DN who is now getting my vote) I lurk this board and post infrequently but I would like to hear some of your opinions. Thank you
Is there a rule I don't know about or are the Mods using their editorial powers to slant the debate for their own goals.

Are the Mod's paid? Or are they partners in the company that owns APC?
If they work for this APC company, they have a financial interest in making this site full of juicy info and debate.
If they are ALPA reps, they will have access to all kinds of juicy info and debate.
How would you put a firewall between these two things, and avoid a -gasp- conflict of interest?
And if you're trying to get elected --and you have a whole army of internet soldiers who can control a popular communications platform-- should you disclose that to the voters? Is that also a conflict?

I think there is a "gentlemen's agreement" that we don't "out" people on this board. That's why no one is talking much about a certain candidate.
