He tried once--what was the outcome?
Doesn't it bother you that people you perceive to be as incompetent or corrupt are responsible for the future of your career at your company?No thanks. I'm retired. I gave up years of my life just to have pinheads like Speedtape insult me. Let someone else pick up the torch.

As Rez frequently quotes from Plato: "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
Maybe he just volunteered. Railroading the process?
They are all volunteers. You could volunteer too, couldn't you?
NFW! But, we do need new blood in there, and by that I mean NEW, not recycled!
Hoser
Just as he sat in the crew lounge and said he was against the TA and would vote against it. But the MEC voted for it.
Yes, it does bother me. And I tried to change that, but was stymied the whole way. I did participate, and public humiliation from ALPA insiders like Speedtape is my reward. Why? I challenged them and their authority, and blew the whistle on a lot of that corruption. So they had no choice but to destroy my reputation and credibility so that no one would believe what I was saying. Hence him still attacking me , here two years later, for losing a captain rep election to two very senior captains after my FO rep term ended. Fact is, most ASA pilots think they know me, but have never even met me. Those that know me well, know that the stories, rumors, and tales about me are grossly inaccurate. I'm not at all like my online personalities in person.
No, I will never again personally participate in ALPA politics. But I will back candidates willing to step up and challenge the incumbents. I will raise grass roots awareness of what's really happening in ALPA, one pilot at a time, and give them whatever support I can provide from behind the scenes.

As another poster stated.... this of course assumes that you are right and the ALPA insiders are wrong.
....define "right" and "wrong".....Both are in the eyes of the beholder.....
