Tony, Tony, TONY!!!!!!!! Don't fall for the new "noise". Wes wouldn't give 2 cents about this position if he could stay at National whereas Tony has been fighting the fight at grassroots level for YEARS!

That’s a good point. Didn’t know he was in other positions as well. Presumably he doesn’t need the rep position to continue in those positions…and getting FPL for it.

Not my LEC and I've had disagreements with Tony on here before but I honestly think this shady politics crap needs to be put down. Vote for Tony and show we won't put up with that crap as a pilot group. If your block rep is on that letter I would suggest you voice your opinionto them, I have.

Seems pretty clear. They don't value Wes - they just don't want tony.

But since you mentioned it, let's talk about the MEC and integrity for a second. In their endorsement letter, they said, "We’ll need his experience as we plan and execute multiple events to maintain our unity ..."
They apparently did not need his experience enough to keep them from endorsing him in his campaign for a national officer position. They didn't have to endorse him.
They apparently did not need his experience enough to re-elect him as EVP. I don't know how any of the nine voted, but I do know that he could have been elected by only 8.
But now they suddenly need him?
I think the politically correct word is disingenuous.
Anybody who has participated in or observed ALPA national officer elections (and the ensuing EVP elections) knows that all bets (and promises, and commitments, and pacts) are off after the first round of voting. That's when the wheeling and dealing begins, and people with thin skin can get their feelings hurt. I have nothing against the EVP they elected either, but don't pretend their hands were tied. Remember, they "need" Wes.
