You are also part of a union that has a voting member on your company's board of directors, with unparalleled access to corporate information and plans.

Your LEC reps put the time in to analyze the issues thoroughly, and make themselves accountable for their actions on your behalf. That lets you set the brakes at the end of your trip, and know that a group of your peers are putting in the time to get smart about all the issues...and not just the one's that pop up on your radar from time-to-time.

They are led in those efforts by a Chairman, who has the sole authority to appoint committee chairmen to do the heavy lifting in various areas. The Chairman is accountable to those reps that you elect.

Don't leave the matter up to a State where the other Candidate's Brother is the Governor and the Secretary of State is an extreme party activist who refused to comply with Court orders (which admittedly were generated by an equally activist Florida Supreme Court), until the US Supreme Court got involved and let your adversary's father's running mate's appointee decide the matter.

Hmmm. The update I saw was signed by 3 guys, all of whom seemed to write quite a bit. The DTW update seemed to be in agreement with what came out of MSP and SEA, as well as what the CA rep in NYC wrote.

Are you saying he has Jedi powers and has sway on all these other guys? Maybe we can get him to work with the negotiators.

The DTW update suggested there was a coordinated effort in support of the recall. It even identified the pilots involved, and their common ideology. Are you saying it's not possible for there to be a coordinated effort to oppose the recall? Do you think all of the reps who wrote to recall the other 3 officers discussed it beforehand? Could there have been any talking points?

Did the DTW update come out at the same time as the others, or was it after others with a similar theme had already been posted?

you accidentally used Newsweek as a reference.

use this... It's slow uh... uh... uh... painful....




besides all he needed to do was win over a State he served in Congress for 10 years.

Jedi powers? I think the obvious conclusion is that he has a cell phone, with his BFF's in his contact list.

It's obvious some of the guys were gunning for Kingsley, and some of the guys did everything they could to keep their guy in. Some independent reps were caught in the middle, and had to settle this thing. My respect goes to them.

Its easy to figure out the guys that wanted to keep propping up Kingsley: they all made the same argument. It wasn't really worth the trouble of sending out separate e-mails.

It's trickier to figure out who among the recall proponents was acting on a common agenda, but obviously some were, probably most. Guess they have contact lists on their cellphone also. To separate those guys, the pilots are going to have to decide for themselves, about who was going to find King's tenure marginal because it was marginal, and who found King's tenure to be marginal, because it was King.

Bottom line: we didn't have the governance we need, and we need to get something better.

Couldn't have said it better.

Considering the rather diverse nature of the reps voting not to recall, I'm not sure I'd call that a BFF list. It would be interesting to see who you think is on that list.

It would be interesting to see who you think is on that list, and how you think anyone can hold sway over 8 other independent thinkers.

I'm going to let my previous post stand, Nu. Most of us aren't interested in who exactly hunts in what wolf-pack, or what the relationship is between the members. Is there an alpha-male? A Sith among the Jedis? I couldn't care less.

Guys are engaging in alliances, attack, counter, payback, etc. I think most people see it pretty plainly.

I don't care who is scratching who's back, or whatever else they might be scratching. I just care about the dysfunction, and how it's hurting us.
