ORD is an interesting situation. It's the largest LEC with about 1,500 pilots. They get two votes for the chairman. SEA has...what....maybe 5 guys. They also get two votes.
What a terrific system.

FYI, Rice helped bring on the 70-seat RJ to UAL. I would like to know who voted for him.

None the less,
Bob Fox (UAL) VC 17-5
Dave Earnest (CAL) Secretary 17-5
Eric Hunter (CAL) Treasurer 15-7

Secretary and Treasurer for CAL? That's fine. Absolutely no power, but CAL guys feel like they have someone at the big table. I'm sure it was part of the back room deal to get Heppner the votes.
I would really liked to see someone fresh, but the ALPA system doesn't allow for it. That's not an accident...
