Sad thing is, another stooge will most likely step up and replace him.
I am all for paying a little more our of pocket to hire PROFESSSINAL NEGOTIATORS.

Our history of them attacking the union by firing union reps isn’t new. They fired 3 of the past 5 NY CA reps. Some fired/rehired multiple times. The record was 7 terminations, in some cases for things as simple as claiming the CEO a liar publicly at a company meeting. Basically the company uses termination to teach lessons and force compliance.

I love getting my ALPA union emails with unity for the JetBlue pilots and Spirit Pilots for them to get better pay and contracts, my dues have bought those boys some nice picket signs.... maybe the newbs whose flow is non existent or a decade away should get involved and rock the boat. Or the cobwebs, excuse me the eagle lifers should get involved and rock the boat.

Lifers. Some are nice guys. Some not. Never know how they will vote. They just want to make sure their money and vacation is guaranteed. They could care less about the flow for the rest of us. They have no reason to mess with ALPA or contribute to union negotiations.
