Sadly the phrase “only I can fix it” doesn’t apply to the POTUS.
What ALPA National committee chairman position do you think Mike Hamilton or any other UAL MEC Chairman is aiming for? Chairman of Aeromedical? Chairman of the Membership Committee? Chairman of the Jumpseat Committee? There are plenty of United pilot volunteers on ALPA National committees according to articles in the Air Line Pilot magazine. I would think having UNITED pilots working on these committees is a great thing.

Just like our politics these days where anyone even expressing a middle ground is demonized.

Oh, and I have plenty of hair, too.
The middle ground is to recall and replace. That's most widely held position. Populism is centrism.

Suckers, all of us if we allow this to happen.
Got some flavor of what went down from someone in the room during the debate to recall the NC:

"Glenn spoke against but was clear as to why. Said he's not always happy with the work product of the negotiators. They get it right sometimes and wrong other times. Said something about if anyone should have his name on a recall resolution it's him as he's about the only one around the table the last 10 years of this contract who has a running list of problems needing fixed and this doesn't address all that. Called out the reps leading the recall charge as political and self-serving. Asked why they didn't express their dissatisfaction with any of the elements of the TA during all the prior negotiations briefings along the way since they were part of giving direction to the negotiators too. Why only speaking now? They brought a product based on our direction and you voted no for it as did he but now they are drumming up recall talk. You don't send your people into battle to fight then at the end put them on a wall say thank you and shoot them in the face. I won't do that. So stop the games and politics."

And ORD and DCA voting to recall negotiators is deflection and passing the buck for their own role in crafting the TA. Don't let them off the hook so easily. They are not pure and innocent. Recall C11 and C23 reps. Cowardice.

That type discussion is held in the very highest level of closed environments. I’m suspecting that whom ever told you this has an agenda.

This is incompetence and dirty politics at a very disgusting level. My advice is to take this down. You, or the person whom asked you to leak this, could find yourself in a very bad place for rehashing a confidential and closed session discussion on this board. Don’t know who told you that this was a good idea. Good luck with it. And no, I won’t be responding, or posting on this one…

We are truly in Bizarro MEC land at this time. I’ve never had less confidence

That was one of my thoughts (on social media monitors, not CVRs). Also, Kirby's a zoomie. Plenty of his classmates are flying the line at United - I'm sure he's chummy with at least a few of our line pilots and has gotten at least a few comments from them.

Well, Whack's a tranny so there's that.

How rich coming from the man who has done nothing but sow disunity with your alter-ego union attempts. Recall everyone so your friend Barton can get elected? Or will you come in to try to accomplish what you couldn't four years ago after having to suspend your campaign under questionable circumstances?

Nice first post. Denigrating union volunteers who stepped up to do the hard work.

Its hard work to come in 3rd place out of 3. If it was “hard” for them, they probably shouldn’t volunteer.
