1) A DFW LEC creation isn't solely up to the MEC. It also requires concurrence from the Executive Council.

2) I presume you would support ORD, DTW, and ACY each having their own LEC's? What's good for the goose...

Having 2 meetings in a row in LAS has reinvigorated the DFW group that felt disenfranchised during the interium (sic) rep vote less than 2 years ago.

There are many reasons this movement is gaining traction, we'll see what kind of ground it's on.

So I take it then you're also in favor of having the proper financial support in place for these representatives... even if that means additional dues assessments to support that 'infrastructure'?

Our pilot group is growing. Why do you think this would require additional assessments to support a new LEC?

Special interests?? Who in the xxll knows, NJ gov, give me one good reason why we shouldn't have a rep on each base? And one good reason why JA is taking two seats?

I'm sure the details of the financials can be worked just fine. I can offer an idea,
Cancel my ALPA mag x 1300 = some money.
More pilots = more dues (unless it's being used for something else, God and JA only knows)
More efficiency on ALPA meetings (less drinking, eating, drops).

I'm no genius by any measure, but I'm sure we can find a way to get reps in DFW.
