I believe he aligned himself with the DPA early on. So, he has been on both sides of the aisle.
I don't know him personally but, I believe heading into bankruptcy, he blinked. That said, who wouldn't. He had 12000 pilots counting on him.
The biggest issue for me is that we need someone who is a leader first, not a politician first. Is Malone that guy...I don't know.

He was the negotiating committee chair for C2K and later the MEC chair. Some love him, others take potshots at him. His tenure as the MEC chair was during the lead up to bankruptcy. He is certainly qualified.

The Shadow MEC is working feverishly on finding a candidate they can control so they remain in power and on flight pay loss.
They will do anything to keep Captain Malone from being elected.
They care about one thing and one thing only, THEMSELVES.

I think saying Malone never blinked could be debated. LOA 46 was under his watch, which included a 30 something percent paycut, as well as a gutting of our work rules, too numerous/painful to quickly regurgitate. The mantra pushing this LOA was "Do it once/do it right.". Unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way.
