Actually no. ALPA defers the decision to the LEC members. So, the right or wrong decision falls with them. That's why officials that make wrong decisions lose, get voted out, or recalled. Simple as that. The LEC has ignored DFW pilots. And DFW pilots will not forget that. See ya tomorrow in Vegas...(oh, your not a 77 member, my bad).

And if we embraced technology, those of us that are working tomorrow could participate as well.

BINGO! Nicely said Ram! The LEC, including R.P., had ample time to schedule a DFW meeting/vote. They chose not to do so and have consciously elected to keep DFW pilots isolated from the process. They justify their decision as being "compliant with the Bylaws" and believe that DFW pilots should, if coincidently on an off day, travel to LAS if they're interested in participating. But completely ignore another provision of the Bylaws that specifically allow split meetings. What better case would a split meeting apply by allowing THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MEMBERS TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE such as that of 77's? This is the exact reason that provision exists! Nonetheless, the LEC, which includes R.P., REFUSED despite numerous requests by many pilots! This is documented! So R.P.'s "unity" email is BS. Action is worth more than cheap words.

So why did your leader, Skybolt, waste the time to send that letter to National? Of course if the bylaws were violated they would have gotten involved. You guys are wrong, show some decency and admit it. Many of us are educated and can think critically, you guys are out of touch with your electorate and the facts.
Now, answer two questions since you are so "educated" and in sync with "the facts."
1. Why wouldn't the LEC, including candidate R.P., allow a simple-to-organize meeting to be held in DFW, as allowed by the Bylaws, when many pilots based there (the majority of 77 pilots) would like a chance to vote for whatever candidate they would like to?
2. What is so abhorrently wrong with that constitutionally sanctioned practice?
Tell us...

Useless to argue. ManFlex doesn't get it, or pretends really hard not to.

Aren't we focusing on the wrong individuals. Tony W. is indeed the 077 Chairman. He has the authority to do the right thing didn't he? He is the Captain of this ship.
Why don't you give him a nice round of applause when resigns tomorrow.

I agree with this. How is online voting not possible in this day and age? Also, i dont understand why we cant skype or w/e tech exsists so peeps working or who commute can participate in union meetings.

I'm still waiting for spiritmans public apology for airing a fellow pilots dirty laundry on a public site. I'm going to find out eventually so save yourself the trouble.

R.P. is preaching unity...he is an officer of 77 and one who could make a split meeting happen.
