It's a touchy subject, but if a certain someone over at UA (goes by the name Tumi) gets elected, you can be certain your union will rapidly forget the idea that YOU are in charge of YOUR medical certification---and decisions that could potentially affect YOUR ability to fly will not be defended with YOUR 1.85%.
Agree or not, but that issue they faced should be a literal nightmare scenario for each pilot on property and throughout ALPA.
Every other union made at least a college effort to entrust pilot's with their own medical states. Not Tumi. He was $250k rich in dues money for big Poppa (add pay for shots) and what he thought was a padded resume for his bid for DePete's job.

Marketing and HR ran the table and physical sovereignty went out the window--regardless of your personal opinions.It's a touchy subject, but if a certain someone over at UA (goes by the name Tumi) gets elected, you can be certain your union will rapidly forget the idea that YOU are in charge of YOUR medical certification---and decisions that could potentially affect YOUR ability to fly will not be defended with YOUR 1.85%.

Did you create this account just to campaign against TI? His shot at ALPA pres is dead in the water so you can save the effort.
