Do you ever try and make a point without criticizing the membership? What is it going to take to get it through your head that this method is counterproductive and insulting to the actual people that pay dues to keep the bloated bureaucracy afloat?

Rez O. Lenin is oblivious to sound logic. Much like ALPA as a whole, he is completely out of touch with those who pay dues and expect something--anything!--resembling the representation or their best interests in return for their mandatory dues.

Instead, he berates us and blabbers his "not ALPA's fault" rhetoric like a broken record.

Rez O. Lewshun blames the membership for ALPA's problems....yet elsewhere he blames management and poor leadership for other problems......

Here is what Rez said about poverty in another thread......

Agreed... the cylce needs to stop...however, it is easier said than done..... isn't that obvious?

A recent book by Sachs, with a forward by Bono of U2, titled The End of Poverty... clearly shows that insisiting that others simply rise up and make the choices we have such as your 1-4 are much easier said than done. (the book is about world poverty, not "poverty" in the US).

How do you expect a 13 year old to make good judgement choices when his entire world is pushing him/her to go in the opposite direction. To simply say... "the child just should" when the resources, skills, leadership, culture and motivation is not there is niave...

To turn our back on people until they make choices 1-4 and not help until they do is irresponsible and weak.

So what is wrong with helping someone obtain the goals of 1-4. What's wrong with mentoring, leading, guiding, helping...etc....

That takes real courage, leadership and strength. That is true power...

In addition, he is quick to point out managements failures and lack of leadership.....correctly in many cases.....

Yet when it comes to ALPA, it is the customer who is wrong......
