FWIW, the union is always looking for pilots willing to help. If someone is not selected perhaps there is the very real possibility they are seen as lacking the open mind and perspective that they can serve the whole pilot group.
Sometimes a pilot wants to get on a committee to forward his own personal agenda, not what's best for the group.
i don't know you but you've made your position pretty clear on here about where you stand on divisive issues like vaccines , Jan 6 and the classic dog whistle , "liberal news media"......not a good fit for representing the whole pilot group. Hallmark of good CRM.... don't wear your politics or your spiritual beliefs on your sleeve....same is true when doing ALPA work.

No...but to your point, there has always been pilots who cross over between union work and go into management...at all airlines. Plenty of Chief Pilots in the industry have a background in union work. Some pilots like to just fly their trips, others have a strong interest in the nuts and bolts of the airline and like to be involved in all sorts of ways. Personally I'm glad there are pilots that do get involved beyond just flying their trips.

A letter of no confidence? What is this, high school? Are you going to write a strongly worded petition next? Outside of the regionals, nobody is writing letters of no confidence.
Say you do write one and demand that the CEO get replaced. Do you think any board of directors, even if they want to get rid of the guy, is going to go ahead with it? Of course not, beceause now it looks like they are doing something because the union told them to do it.
You're over there playing checkers with your letter of no confidence.

Again MEC you need to do better, TTail isn't that bright!
Please Google and verify all my references regarding the "No Confidence" letters.
-JetBlue Pilots Voice "No Confidence" in Head of Airports System and Operations.
-On June 15, 2022, Delta MEC issued a letter of No Confidence to the BOD regarding Delta Flight Operations.
It doesn't get bigger than Delta TTail, or do you think Delta is a Regional? I'm asking because you aren't that bright and I don't want to hold you accountable if you don't know.

Don't think he understands VEBA either. He complained that a MEC member wasn't using VEBA while out with an injury, sports injuries are trick things to recover from and a timeline is impossible to forecast....VEBA is a finite amount of money and if too many pilots are on it it runs out. Good on the MEC member for potentially leaving money available for others on long term disability......he boasted about his college being really good so maybe he knows more than everyone else??....he sure doesn't understand how "Unity" works
Unity is what ALPA is built on, an upside-down pyramid, not 6 goons in bed with the company taking all our ALPA dues. I was reminded on "HU" that they are not goons, more like a bunch of dudes you would see on a Dateline sting.
In Pyramid Unity...

I've done some committee work, not MEC though, that said, I know the MEC is a demanding time consuming job and there is always a handful of pilots trying to nitpick the MEC with half truths and innuendo. They generally are unable to see any other perspective but their own and they think have all the answers with way less information. The more unified the pilot group is the better going into the merger the better. Then the more unified both pilot groups are after SLI is even more important..
No Unity when you have corruption, you can't move forward until the corruption is taken out. LA PD ring a bell?
No Corruption, Integrity, and Transparency NOW, in Unity...

American Red Cross CEO salary $694,000
Unicef’s CEO salary $620,000
National Rifle Association CEO salary $6,100,000
American Breast Cancer Foundation CEO salary $700,000
No MEC member is making more than executives of actual charities. Fostro out here discovering people who run volunteer organizations actually get paid. I wonder if he gets mad at Santa for not giving him enough presents. Time to grow up and stop playing make believe.

Let's just deal with the facts, AUDIT the last MEC Chairs ALPA pay versus the current. Let's also AUDIT the past Negitotiating Chairs ALPA pay versus the current. Not stopping there, let's AUDIT the past Safety Chairs ALPA pay versus the current. Finally, let's see if any ALPA member was ever paid a full schedule while being injured and avoiding VEBA.
Nothing else but data and facts, please, research the past and you will see how much this group is stealing from our dues!
Prove me Wrong Please, in Unity...
