I've heard him talk about who he suspects Check, Slow, Scoop, 80kts, Denny, Sailing, George, Super, Dal88, Buzz, T, Bar, Ferd, Alpha, Nu, cni - not to mention you and plenty of others. This board is far from anonymous and it seems to get less anonymous the more you lean towards ALPA...just sayin' and I've had Mods PM me based on my specific IP. It isn't cordial it's tracking.

I do believe you to be as fair as they come here however. :)

The Chairman's seat is the most difficult set of shoes to fill. It seems like we ran this election earlier than it has been done in years past, or am I mistaken?

If a normal schedule would have seen "Captain Gomez" on the ballot, perhaps it would be a bit easier for "First Officer Gomez" to slide over a seat.

If any of the Captains running have status rep experience, I missed it. Not that anything turns on that dime. I expect whoever is elected will get the hang of it as well & fast as their predecessors have.

Nothing prevents an FO from being chairman, even if they are on the bottom third of the list, if they want to run for it.

ACL, do you know why your friend the C54 FO Rep hasn't flown for more than a year?:confused:

I would have to guess that would be a question for a Council 54 pilot to ask.

Since ACL is a Council 44 guy, his questions/comments about Coucil 44 election issues are entirely valid.

I was pondering the LEC, but of course, you are correct.

It looks like a fabricated issue to me.
You can't have a member-in-good-standing rendered ineligible to run.
So if you had nominations one day, he's ineligible to run as a CA.
If you had the nominations another day, he's ineligible to run as FO.
But he was ALWAYS eligible to run.
That's why I say it's a fabricated issue.

I figured since ACL is the go to information guy and has quoted discussions with AA that he'd know.

ACL or any 54 folks have an answer?
