Just pointing out a few facts that show the absurdity of C2K causing the United bankruptcy. You should try it for a change.

2001-2010: A Decade in Review

Terrorism, wars, economic recession, volatile fuel costs, illnesses, and natural disasters all took a toll on the industry. During the last decade, the industry posted an estimated $47 billion pretax loss. The global airline industry was profitable only three years out of the decade. Let’s take a look at the challenges the industry and ALPA faced.

Have you called or emailed your LEC reps to let them know how you feel about NS?

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.

And the Toddlers don't like him.

I really hope you're not going to be involved in any MEC level committees or duties if Neil is elected. You are the opposite of unity.

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 So, you don't need to recall your local reps unless you feel they no longer represent your interests.

I am not. Cults are completely unified as were the Toddlers; and the Tumi TA was the result. Unity should be the means not the end, and it should be based on interests of the pilots not the interests of the Deal Leader.
