Both Heppner and Rice are ex-UAL. There are 9 ex-Con voters. Interesting. Can you imagine the deal making going on? "vote with us, and we will vote for your vice candidate" ect. ect. I would love to be a fly on the wall.

I doubt it. LUAL has had a NASTY rift down the middle between the east (ORD/DCA) and west (SFO/LAX) crowd. Personally I've seen enough out of Whiteford, Morse, and Rice over the years to know that I DEFINITELY prefer Heppner.

This is why it's such a SHAME that the membership doesn't elect the MEC Chair. What a farce

Agreed, I think Rice spent more time at ALPA national than flying airplanes at United.

Heppner wins.

Rice must continue to fly the line.

Let's see what kind of deal Heppner made with the CAL guys to get the votes...

Maybe forget about secret bid 14-02D (or whatever the illegal bump bid was called).

ORD and SEA on the legacy UAL side have done nothing but backed failed mec chairman in the past. Most recently Wendy Morse...

This time they backed Rice.

Its time ORD brought fresh blood in place of the 5 or 6 people that have been rotating seats there and playing games over the last 10 years.
