Hey, I have an idea... let's see how many Flightinfo members we can accuse of being Will Faruzzi or John Breiling or some other union rep. That would be fun. Glad I'm so popular that everyone spends so much time talking about me, lol.
You all know I don't post here often. If I have something to say, I say it with my name at the end and stand behind it.
I was there yesterday, and the MEC member in question said exactly what John B said he did. W. Dowden was also there. Regarding the question about the 60%, and the pilots being too stupid, SH also said he learned that from me. I explained to him that I did in fact once feel that way, and that I was wrong. It's very easy to wear blinders when you hold ALPA office. You get sucked up into the emotion and don't really look at the other side of the issues. Unfortunately, I failed to realize that when I was there.
I held a dissenting opinion often but, in the end, I always spoke the party line for the purpose of "group unity". It's nice to be able to publicly speak my mind now.
If you want to know what I think, read the ALPA board, call me, or email me. Personally, I think the games played on this web site are petty and childish, which is why I rarely participate, but often lurk. But if need be, I will set the record straight.
