He’s probably one of the smartest, shrewdest, pilot centric MF’ers you’ll ever meet. He also had ZERO patience for idiots, ankle biters or incompetence, and isn’t afraid to say so. He and I agree about little politically, but there is nobody I would trust to defend me in a disciplinary hearing, or to defend our contract more than Neil.

Well, you don't need to recall your local reps.
The process could be, attend your local council meeting, write and get passes a local resolution directing your LEC reps to initiate a recall effort of the master chairman.
Then its up to the collective MEC reps made up of your LEC's. If you have support of the majority of the local reps, then the chance of recalling the master chair is pretty good. So, you don't need to recall your local reps unless you feel they no longer represent your interests.

Dave that only works with LEC reps who follow council resolutions. In IAH, after the Tumi fiasco we had a meeting, passed a number of resolutions, by a large margin, and all were ignored including a resolution not to support TI for ALPA National Chair. All outright ignored. They knew what was coming next so they refused to schedule a council meeting from June until December. So recall was the only option left.

I agree. I think PH is a nice guy but IMHO he’s too easily swayed and hesitant to go against the grain. Examples are the abstaining on votes. At this point we need people willing to fall on their swords and do the right thing even if it ****es off the MEC “in crowd”. He did the right thing in the end, but he was complicit with dragging out all the drama to include his abstaining on the vote to not support TI even when he had a council resolution to not support him. Had he voted No the drama over nationals would have ended right then and there.

Then, if they don't, I agree, time to consider recalls for not doing their jobs.
