Not sure what about the "dirty dozen" disqualifies them, but for me anyone that voted for, or was a part of the administration that pushed TA1, should never ever be allowed to do DALPA work again.

My opinion, and we all have them, is that John Malone has done a great job for the Delta pilots and should be re-elected, the same for Getty. Either Mason or Hay would be fine, they both did good work, but I'd give a nod to Mason, he is more of a consensus builder and Hay is already serving well on the NC. For Secretary, Bryde would be a good pick, he's served the pilots well and is very apolitical. Despite all the hate thrown his way, I think Nestor would probably also do a good job in this administrative post. He is very hard working and does "deep dive" (he's a wonk) into policy and process. Fire away.

I have a remarkably fast metabolism, as you will see.
The dirty dozen doesn't get any credit for this TA. They ordered the admin to engage in regressive bargaining on August 26, just days before a four-day "super mediation" session in Baltimore. Malone came out of that session with NOTHING. The NMB told us we could either come to the table ready to deal, or we could continue towing banners over empty baseball parks. The finite limits of the great orange circle jerk had been reached.
I believe you will recall that we sat on the bench for about three weeks? What happened at the September MEC meeting?
The membership went ape is what happened. Bartels and his cronies (including Tom Bell) were about to drive us off a cliff, and a lot of pilots contacted their reps and told them to send the negotiators back with rational marching orders. Everyone knew that a deal was possible, and the dozen knew they were ignoring their own polling data.
This TA was reached DESPITE the MEC, not because of it.

I'll some it up.
YES!, bobble head convention.
If we get this done soon we can hit the hospitality suite with ED!

SMACKDOWN.
The prior was a much more egregious error. Sometimes not rushing IS the right thing to do.
