Alpa Mec Officer Elections

[USA320Pilot]

This afternoon the MEC re-elected Bill Pollock as MEC chairman, Kim Snider as vice-chairman, and Mike D'Angelo as secretary/treasurer. All three men are associated with the so called "moderates" versus "hardliners" and are reasonable, pragmatic men.

The MEC Chairman and Vice Chairman both won by a 7-5 vote. Not a real vote of confidence for their leadership.

Expect the S.O.S from this lame leadership.

My understanding is that officers may only be lected by a Senatorial vote(one rep, one vote) and these individuals won 7-5 with the smaller bases electing. Roll call voting for officers is only allowed in the recall of officers. The dissenting 5 votes represent the majority of Airways pilots but due to bylaws were unable to have the Chairman of their choice. It will be intersting to see what the majority do on membership ratification votes.
