Those guys badly want to return to power.
I think they are a bit shell-shocked these days. You'll notice most of the more prominent ones have gone social media silent.
They didn't think the union would even be able to function without them let alone negotiate a vastly improved TA with full retro.
Recent events have been pretty embarrassing for them. All their doom and gloom predictions were wrong.
Right now their #1 objective is to stop Bartels from becoming MEC Chairman.
After that, we'll see.

1. CONCESSIONS IN PROFIT SHARING
2. GIVEN UP MORE RJs
I'm so glad you don't serve on our behalf. The MD-11 was bad enough!

I'm with you!
I think the "12" unintentionally did the pilots a disservice. I'm not convinced they intended to set the dangerous precedent, but they did. The precedent is having any faction that can cobble together 10 reps on any issue, or bundle of issues, making decisions for the body - then informing the rest of the body of the way the it's going to be.
Seems ok if you like the direction...
...until it works to cut your homies out next time.
In the case of the final TA, it took Bastian and Malone to buy into the mediator's advice. Helmet stickers to those 3! Lessons learned. Let's move on.

Same here....they talk a good game about representing the line pilots but their political ambitions and self serving interests indicate otherwise.

It's moot in the sense that it (the process) is over and done with now and there is nothing we can do about it. What's eminently debatable is whether the 12 got us a better deal in the long run or not.
Were the ALPA Constitution and the MEC Policy manual violated? If so, please point me to specific sections. If they were violated, I would have thought a much bigger stink would have been made.
