The prior poster doesn't know there is an election about to go on down in Houston. BS has burned just about every bridge out there to continue his Black vs Blue division. Do you think he expected the discontent/candour over the TS application request for membership as that was likely his parting shot.

Actually the prior poster is well aware there is an election Staller. Btw your last sentence above is at best gibberish.

Considering 171's past, I wouldn't call it a new low, just a different kind of low.

Thank You!

ps
Ben had hoped to rubber stamp the TS application but enough 171 pilots spoke up and demanded membership ratification. We'll see how it goes.

Once again, if you browse the governing documents of YOUR union you will find it only takes one council member objection to force a local council vote on an application. The objection doesn't even have to be made at a council meeting it could be via email for instance. For the LEC to pass the application on their own there would have to be a majority vote so BS could not single-handedly pull it off even if he wanted to.

I know you're trying to defend BS and that's ok. Simple fact is there will be a local vote. What's surprising is there was an objection to force the vote. I stand by my statement and let's see if BS has another bathroom meeting for the vote.

I believe his application could be considered, and then rejected by the local council leadership without it even being considered by the body at a meeting. I don't believe that the application actually requires consideration if the individual is a scab, is in bad standing, has debts/assessments, or unpaid dues, or if he/she has been otherwise disqualified (ie article 8).

I do think ALPA needs to do something about this.....why can't the scabs just go away? I'd like to see ALPA do something so that we don't have to continually get side-tracked and distracted by this foolishness.
