Not to rain on anyones lengthy diatribe, but did the OP happen to notice how close the vote to recall the current LEC was in SFO yesterday, and the apathy in IAH, and how close the vote was in LAX? I won't make a prediction about the final vote in SFO other than to say it will likely be closer than EWR by far so clearly there is a significant amount of support remaining for TI and his minions. Diatribes didn't do anything to stop him getting where he got and if after the Tumi TA people are still supporting his agenda then I'm not sure posting here will change even a single future vote. My point is you wasted a lot of time saying nothing that matters to anyone . . . in my lowly opinion.
It was a pretty significant effort for those of us who commute to get there ... I made it and I thank every other commuter who showed up. It was even a pretty big chore for many locals who live south of the airport.

Every union (pardon me, association) follows this path. Huge gains for the workers in the beginning followed by huge gains for the 'leadership' in the end.
Why aren't the national leadership's salaries based on an average of the salaries of the member airlines? That might change the incentive structure in a way that benefits the common member instead of these disgusting politicians that weasel their way into these roles.

I keep seeing the salary and Todd thrown around. Is there someone running who isn't planning on taking a salary? Why is any of this a surprise? Don't you pay attention to how your union works? Seems like sour grapes.SECTION 5 - SALARY
The Presidency of the Association shall be a full-time position with an annual salary. The salary of the President and method of payment shall be established by the Board of Directors during the meeting at which they are elected or reelected. Their salary may be adjusted or supplemented by retirement, annuity payments, or other monetary benefits approved by the Board of Directors in session.

As a casual observer of this process who isn’t a fan of TI, one guy somewhat politely mentions that perhaps the individual who wrote this negative piece on TI may have an agenda of his own… and the same people who are disgusted at TI’s intimidation tactics and desire to quash dissent start getting aggressive and accusing the profile of being a TI foot soldier.
Maybe someone will write a book about the “de-adulting of America: how cable news and social media caused the US collectively lost 50 IQ points”
