Try making a statement on the Bar & Grill that goes remotely against the grain of the few who regularly post and see what happens. While I think the current EB has done a good job, change is not a bad thing. We are in need of more transparency, some interesting things going on behind the scenes.

One is up this year, if changed, would be a 60% change of the EB in just over 12 months.

Interesting that folks believe the EB and line pilot negotiator members should not have received a signing bonus. EB rarely flew as did some of the line pilots involved. I think the line knew this fact for many years. Just trying to follow the logic.

Fast forward, two candidates who worked hand in hand with the EB are nominated and run unopposed. Why would they run against the current EB after what CH went through. Could be because the 2 outgoing EB members didn't announce they weren't running for re-election until after nominations had closed, but the 2 running for office probably knew this.
Nothing personal Salty Dog, just the appearance of cronyism that has run rampant at ALPA.
