Emails, websites and a .pdf of the ALPA newsletter (I dont receive a paper copy anymore for some reason), ALPA can use technology when it's beneficial, so why the insistence on an "in person" vote?
Sounds to me like those who are putting on the vote are not using all means available and are hiding behind "the printed word".
It's as ludicrous as a requirement to vote on the President of the US, you have to be present in Washington DC.

Is it possible that they simply don't want the DFW pilots to influence the vote. No, that can't be. Could it?

In other news, crewpay seems to be up and running on the RA site. Pretty sweet, I like it!

Maybe you can substantiate why they would do that. Dropping speculative hints like that (at least for the 2nd time on this thread), trying to make it an accepted fact, reduces your credibility much more than it reduces the credibility of the MEC.
Maybe LAS based pilots would feel disenfranchised if the meeting was held in DFW. I sure feel disenfranchised being a commuter, not being able to attend and vote in these kind of meetings. But this is no conspiracy, it is simply the way the organization is set up. This is nothing new, as far as I can tell.

I see no good reason why.

Just run two meetings simultaneously or let people vote by proxy, electronically or schedule a meeting before the bid is over. You know this was engineered.

Don't play dumb Balder. It is clear to all what is happening here. No pilot should be locked out of such a vote based on a rule that never anticipated that the majority of pilots would live in another base.

You see, to me, your claims seems to be made up slander, which in my opinion hurts us as a pilot group.

Have none of you worked at other Alpa carriers? This is how you vote for an interim rep. Not saying its the best way but its the Alpa way not some Spamec conspiracy. Being in Vegas and not Dallas could or couldn't be a conspiracy but voting in person is Alpa policy.

Hello ALPA, the 1930's called, they'd like their bits of charcoal and parchment paper back. What are they worried about, hanging chads?
This has to be about the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. You're shutting out a whole base and everyone else that doesn't live in LAS or isn't there on that particular day from choosing their Rep. Is this really the intention of ALPA or the Spirit MEC?
