I've lived through how bad a republican admin and an republican judge can destroy the life of labor. If you were here for our raping by a republican BK judge, you'd understand too.

Obviously you don't get it. You trust that this will really be her position when push comes to shove? Our foreign competition will get what they want from her with their national treasuries or money from other sources. Pay to play, the Clinton way. Your PAC money won't stand a chance.

All you have to do is look at our contracts during each era. Reagan? good god. What a disaster. After he fired all the controllers and showed the corporate world how to deal with them damn unions (see CAL/UAL strike, scabs, and the AMR permanent B-scale)...Bush-1 and his veto of the congressional bill to stop the Eastern strike...that's the last Repub I voted for! Clinton...RECORD $$$ contracts. 'nuff said. Bush 2...wow! Bankruptcies, double furloughs, pension terminations. OBAMA...c'mon man...NEVER had it THIS good. The point is...bad things happen to our profession (labor unions) when a Repub is in charge. They appoint FAA Administrators , PBGC Directors, NMB members (like Linda Puchala, former AFA union chief who mediated our current contract), and TSA Administrators (KCM ROCKS!). OF COURSE our union is gonna endorse a DEM. If you don't like it, that's ok. Just make sure you keep paying your dues.

Guess all that talk about raising the taxes on the wealthy Americans making more than $250k is a good enough reason to support Hillary. You know, since at least half of pilots at legacy airlines are making that much.

Here's an example of his shining steadfast commitment to US workers. (I used the furthest right leaning site I could find, just for you)

I don't expect either party to "help" us because we are labor, or american workers. It is, what it is.
I do expect HRC to help her donors, a couple of the biggest of which are.......QATAR and the UAE. How do you think that will play out.
It won't affect my vote either way.
If you think our little ALPA PAC money will trump (pun intended) the millions given to HRC by Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc, keep sending it to Herndon.

I don't give 2 $hits what the MEC thinks I should do with my vote. The fact that they think I've joined some kind of Borg collective and will vote according to their whims is insulting. These guys should stick to defending my contract and keep their politics to themselves. I won't give their political coercions an ounce of consideration.
This excursion into the personal political life of members will not be welcome by a large percentage of the membership. These guys have given themselves way too much credit. They serve me, not the other way around.

2. Do you agree that the US government is heavily involved in regulating commercial aviation and certifying airmen in the USA?
If you can answer yes to both questions than feel free to connect the dots.
