Everybody at Comair,
The last Captain that I flew with told me that only a fraction of the eligible voters cast a ballot in the recent Comair LEC nominations. (He said something like only 10% voted) The final vote should be soon, and I guess we'll get something in the mail from ALPA with the voting info.
I can't believe so few people bothered to get involved. As pilots, we tend to have "driver" type personalities. We are do-ers. Think about it. Would you rather be flying the plane or be sitting in 8B? Of course you'd rather be flying the thing yourself. If you don't take the time to get educated and vote, your sitting in 8B, and giving up the controls on your future.
People, this is our career we're talking about here. Educate yourselves on the candidates and get involved...and cast a vote...make an informed decision. It seems like none of the FO's here care about any of this stuff. Well, I do and I'm ashamed to say I didn't bother to cast a ballot in the nominations, but I'm definitely gonna vote.
Somebody on the crew van tonight was talking about some internet chat room where some of the candidates were gonna be talking, does anybody have the link so I can figure out who's who??
Thanks,
