You aren’t wrong but at the same time the only contenders were tribal faction candidates. This union needs an enema. It’s time to change the bylaws. Bring MEC chair out of the dark back rooms of the union halls and have it be a system wide vote by all migs. The LECs can’t be trusted not to give into tribal politics, time for some sunlight disinfectant on this dumpster fire process.

As it stands right now I'd support GK wholeheartedly. Like him or not, NS is a died in the wool unionist. He would've rubbed everyone the wrong way at various times because he's always about what is RIGHT. Somebody (UAL or ALPA?) is afraid of having that kind of leadership here. The attack on NS made that obvious. They DESERVE to have GK at the table.

Show me the post merger volunteers and ill tell you who i support. Omitting people because of their legacy is stupid. IMO we need to decide what we want ALPA to be...a trade union or a company committee. Then put in the leadership to make it happen. I've got 9 years left so if the majority want to pass away the 'union' part of ALPA for the feel good stuff then so be it.

Besides Goosecrap's, one of the most idiotic comments I've read. Just find the most qualified advocate of unionism willing to serve and move on. Continually dividing the pilot group does not benefit us.
Six years of autocracy has left this place in a void and leadership is needed.

NS provided all the ammo necessary for the tribal attack against himself. You are 100% correct that what we are experiencing right now is a group of over entitled children throwing feces at each other... it’s pretty pathetic. Even some of the interim reps who voted this last round for MC are questionable... they lobby on how they are going to do the right thing and be refreshing and the first thing they do is the opposite... they need to go also.
Characterizing AW as a money grubber is so far from the truth… I don’t agree with her on many things but she doesn’t deserve an attack that she’s doing it for $$$.

They were hoodwinked. Hopefully they see the light some day….Back to the thread topic…if your rep voted for the TA, they’re the problem. Everything else is noise, and an attempt to deflect and change the subject.
