Airing all this publicly hiding behind anonymity I find to be completely shameful, underhanded and classless.

RE: CAPT. SWINDELLS ELECTION TO MEC CHAIR

****** URGENT ACTION********



Please copy/paste this letter to send and email to your LEC representatives if you agree (names and emails below).

Feel free to edit or personalize it based on your own opinion:



No matter how talented Capt. Swindells has been with union work, there should be ZERO TOLERANCE for racism, antisemitism, and, not to mention, the sexist and bigoted remarks he has made about female and LGBTQ pilots. His true colors are there, in the open for the public to see, and I feel ashamed that this is the person that represents us. You are setting a precedent by supporting his election that this type of behavior cannot only go unpunished, but also be rewarded - and that is the governing issue here.

You wouldn’t expect United to hire a new pilot after having a history of making racist and vulgar remarks, as they do not adhere to the principles of our airline, and they definitely do not adhere to the ALPA Code Of Ethics. Furthermore, this MEC Chair position sit on the United Airlines BOD and is expected to comply with the airline's CORE4 philosophy and Mission Statement. I ask you, why would we be okay with a Master Chairman who is so blatantly disrespectful to people who do not share his views?

I am respectfully asking for the immediate resignation of Neil Swindells as the MEC Chairman.

In Unity, (your name)

What the pro-Swindells camp is missing is that he’s already proven himself incapable.

Already a swing and a miss on his “apology”.

“Sorry if I offended anyone” is not the same as “what I said was wrong, and I fully support the diverse pilot group here at United” or “it is never ok to refer to fellow pilots as (insert racial slurs here)”.

Is this the email that one of the pilots in management was sending out? I'm pretty sure it is. What's a management pilot doing sending out templates to line pilots to send to their reps for, anyway?

Pay attention. This isn't a game.

Disregard. I see that you are a burner profile so my time is wasted.

This is the exact same crap that happened when the Covid LOA was out and again when the Turd-TA was being promoted. All these FNGs show up out of the woodwork and school us line slob morons on whatever Todds party line is that week. As soon as the issue has been settled, they disappear. This is how they operate. None of them will go on the other forum and debate Neil or anyone else who disagrees with them.

Here's a gentle reminder, the members overwhelmingly rejected your POS TA and then tossed you and your leader. That's how they felt about your long tenure. Your union brothers, not Neil.

I was cheerleading the recall efforts all the way and was actively torpedoing TA1 the whole time it was in play.

You don’t have to be a toddler to see the issue with Neil.

It would be convenient to write off anyone opposed to him as “just another toddler” or “brainwashed FNG’s” but that isn’t factual, no matter how much you might wish it to be.

What isn’t factual is saying Neil is a racist/misogynist but keep your head buried.
