The most common rationale from these individuals was that they did not want someone like HIM representing them.

Pretty soon I ran out of fingers and put two and two together, maybe if Seggy wasn't out there representing our cause we would have those 10+ votes and got it through the first time while being one year closer to a contract.

To think that an individual like him is now the MEC Chair at Colgan makes me glad that I am no longer there and sad for my friends who are still there. It's easy to win by default I guess.

I said it before and I'll say it again the pilots of Colgan Air deserve ALOT better. If the Pilots at Colgan want an industry-leading contract the first step would be to find some new leadership.

Well, since you used to work here, I can't discredit your point of view completely, but I will say that since we've voted ALPA in we have already made large strides in making this a better place to work. I'm based in IAD, so I talk to the ALPA reps a lot, and we've got a pretty good group of people working with our management.

You off at greener pastures now I guess?
