There should be a litmus test that requires this concept of duty and service to the pilot group to be understood and ascribed to for all who want to run for union office.
to be clear, I think our union is largely good and serves a purpose to strengthen our bargaining position and prevent the company from making unilateral disciplinary decisions (among many other great things: HIMS, lobbying, etc). But, from my own personal experience, more often than not, the union rep isn’t the grown-up in the room during a discipline hearing.

as was said, the percent of pilots that face discipline is less than the percent I’d rather not fly with. Until that ratio flips, I don’t think we’re in an overly punitive workplace.
