Subversion of our Constitution, ByLaws and Admin Manual takes pilots' Reps out of the loop - my Reps were not involved in pilot labor negotiations with Delta management. Is it legitimate to recall a Rep for something they had nothing to do with and did not even know about? I think not.
Too difficult and too destructive to recall the President of the organization over line item issues when there is a failure of governance (even I don't advocate a recall, but as long as he remains in power everyone fears even sending a letter which might hurt politically - difficult to get Reps to put the health of the organization over the short term political gamesmanship) Should we recall Reps for that? I think not.

The "Executive Branch" of our union has to have a lot of power to hold the association together. That power has to be used wisely.

The membership need an enforcement mechanism (short of the Courts) to resolve governance issues. A recall is too severe and too disruptive to the association and it's members. The issue is ripe for a cure. Anyone have suggestions?

Make the MEC election 50% membership vote and 50% LEC vote.
Curbs both insider trading and mob rule.

if you can fly an airliner, you should be qualified to vote for your MEC Chairman.

Wish we had a "like" button on this forum for posts, instead of having to quote a 500 line post and put "THIS^^^" below it. In any case, "like" Carl, gloopy, scambo, tanstaffl, gunshipguy, JackBauer, timbo, FTB, 80, etc. Thanks for the good reading while I wait for the bids to drop...
