I've got no beef with you personally; I enjoyed flying with you years ago and your sense of humor is second to none. I apologize if this comes across as a personal attack. It's not. But to most line pilots, you ARE a big presence at ALPA National and will always be tied in with what goes on in that arena as long as you participate in it. As well, you've always chosen spoken word over print- maybe you've got a good reason for it- but it often comes across as secretive and withholding; the entire MEC is that way and it leaves a bad taste in the pilot group's collective mouth.
If there's a good explanation, we'd love to hear it.

Nobody is playing anybody. Socializing at a BBQ venue close to DFW is a voluntary thing. And every evening there are more and more folks showing up, and enjoying a great time. We are independent thinkers, not sheeple. Not blind idiots or "crazy Dallas pilots." Remember, all this recent discussion started because LEC 77 refuses to hold a vote, allowed by the Bylaws, in DFW, where the majority of 77 members are based. Addressing the clear inpractability of many of us flying to LAS is what voters expect their elected representatives to do. Plain and simple. Refusing, dismissing, maneuvering, has only made it worse. Hey, how about giving us our own Council? Then y'all can get rid of us easily....

So you know me, but I don't know you and you haven't had the balls to call me, so let me ask you here: what are you going to do with that information? Tell everyone that I'm a real bad guy? That's a real upstanding way to win an election against a man who isn't running for anything.

LOL. This is sooo funny. So how many logins per person this time? Are you guys going to let the opposition speak or is it going to be more exclusive than that? You know... to keep the tradition. It is important.

This isn't about personal attacks. We've met and I think you're a nice guy who speaks well and presents his opinion articulately. I just disagree with much of what your previous MEC attempted to do and strongly support our current leadership. I also disagree with the divisiveness being spread to many of our newest pilots. Our current MEC is guilty of poor branding and that vacuum allows this divisiveness to fester. I feel this agitating has more to do with settling old political scores and sour grapes than bettering this pilot group and it's sad new pilots are being brought into it under some other pretenses.
