I am of the school of thought that big groups tend to promote and recruit people of like-mind or people that can be persuaded to conform.
When the Delta MEC elected its Merger Committee in 2008, the MEC was reportedly very split on retaining the one member from the prior committee -- John Morgado. He was alleged to be too aggressive to fit in well with the remaining three candidates. In the end, the MEC decided to expand the committee to four members to make room for John. From what I've heard, he wound up being a highly valued and respected member of the committee.
With respect to this week's elections, reports indicate that HK was narrowly defeated for Chairman because certain folks felt that he would be too aggressive. I find it humorous that Morgado is now considered to be the more mainstream choice.
I believe that any pilot who feels he has the skills and drive to contribute should make himself known to his fellow pilots and to his reps. As I said, if he truly has the skills to make Anderson open his wallet significantly, surely he has the ability to convince his fellow pilots of those skills.

Are you a DALPA insider, an ALPA national insider, or one of the above insiders purporting to be an average line pilot?

Where can a line pilot get those reports that you mentioned?
