As a due paying member of this "so called union" I have Every right to complain when I feel my dollars are being wasted, and YES speaking to 50 members a day for two days in London, racking up hotel bills, and many other expenses when we have current members on furlough without health insurance, and without jobs is nothing more than a glorified vacation in my eyes at the expense of the membership. Perhaps, you feel differently then why dont you personally foot thier next trip to CDG by yourself and leave my money alone!
I agree the turn outs locally tend to be low. Finding a captive audience and one with people from 6 different bases all at once is very cost effective. Just getting one person from each flight would be like reaching every person who laysover by way of galley talk.
The problem with that is most of the time it is with uncheck facts, or complete fantasy. Face it, most people here know if you posted it, its usually wrong.
