Unless your name is really aerisarmis I didn't miss on you hiding behind a false name. And since I am not now nor have I ever been a DW crony I didn't miss on the false accusation shot either. Nice try.

EI is a good guy. He has experience too. If I wasn't running, I'd vote for him. JN has never held any position. He needs to volunteer on some committee and gain some experience before taking a leadership role. If you look at any functional organization like Rotary INTL or even the PTSA, none of them put folks into leadership roles until they have trained at a lower level first. We have to stop doing that because management is too good at what they do to allow newbies to run things. I don't mean anything bad to JN I'm sure he's a great guy, its just an expereince thing. A squadron never takes an ensign and makes him the ops officer. I look forward to him volunteering somewhere like communications or negotiations and learning the ropes.

Capt Tony Hauserman

Wow ... that's a new APC twist? A guy actually takes the time to research and quote the policy manual and Tony blasts him for it? I wonder if that's part of his "Throw the Bum Out" platform?

Finally something Tony and I can agree on. Vote for Tony for PTSA!

..............except on the Age 65 resolution........

Sounds like JN is our only hope. If only he didnt want the job he would be perfect.

Every couple of years some guy comes on, pulls his skirt up over his head, shows off his new thong, then demands that everybody do the same. There's lot's of very clever screen names here, mine might not be particularly clever, but it's latin. The fact that you want to change the rules to suit yourself speaks volumes.
But back to my original post, the one where I agreed with the previous poster and you took umbrage. IMO, there are two camps in our MEC. One is SS and his group. The second are folks associated with, or like thinkers of the previous MEC chairman (You are the only person to used the word "crony"). The second group tried to stage a late palace coup to gain the MEC officer positions. They failed, but it was very, very close. Too make up for this short coming, they, the second group, are running folks in the current block rep elections that would be helpful in their attempt to wrestle back control of the MEC. I said it was a good tactic and I'd do it myself if I was them.
That's my opinion. You don't like it? I don't care. I'm quite sure yours differs and you are entitled to it. Throw your opinion out, minus the vitriol, and see if a healthy discussion ensues.

AA, aka "The Henchman"

Well, an ALPA password gets you into the website where the "digging" occurred and my name is not Scott. Only a true politician can say I was wrong to call you out on your "exaggerations" it is 98 CH read it, override is for incidental expenses. You see the Officers can not draft or volunteer and are working way harder than many that make much more flying the line. If you want the guys to run ALPA that are willing to do it a a bigger loss if you have your way then we will be subject to a even smaller stable of people who are 1)qualified and 2) are willing to do it, throw the pay and benefits any lower and you lose out on many. Not because it is such a great deal, the opposite it just sucks more.

I did not even call you out on your duty officer jam or your "commuter" claim. Policy manual seems pretty clear Tony, if you think they are violating policy then I suspect you have already conducted and investigation with the FOC? Or will that occur after you are elected.

One last thing, Scott is not running for Office, you are and you appear to be running on the platform of what is wrong with the Joneses not what is right about the FPA era lackeys. Bring on the change Tony, right back to 1998.

Can't say I was a fan of the DW era at all. However, Tony was very correct when he spoke of the lack of transparency. While I thought the coup attempt was absurd, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to see SS get the boot either...

OK then. Who can argue with logic like that. Let's hang him high, I mean, after all, if it wouldn't hurt your feelings, what's the harm?

The fact that Tony thinks you have to have "ALPA Experience" to be a block rep speaks volumes. I'm not in a block to vote for or against....but to see him come here and vomit all over the board certainly doesn't impress me.
