Not if his agenda was strictly self serving. Have you listened to how he thinks?

marco90821, yes he is a nice person...in person. That being said, I just don't agree with the man's politics. Nuff said.

PitBull,
You of all people should know what a sacrifice it is for someone to be an LEC member. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with the man, all I'm saying is he should be respected for volunteering to represent his group if he should be elected. GMAFB.
How many days 'til you're gone?, not soon enough.

Hey Charlie Brown...I think Tom Cruz is a great looker, and I may think he is one of the finest actors in show biz.... and even though many would agree he has one of the biggest egos in "Hollywood", I wouldn't find it to be noble for him to run for the presidency of the Screen Actors' Guild, nor would I give him kudos if he wanted to run for the United States Presidency.
Often times, folks think themselves legends in their own minds.
Running for a union position is to have no self serving agenda. And to serve the interest of the majority. Members usually can sniff those who have thier own self agendas, or Company agenda, sadly and often times after they have won thier election. LGA Pilots obviously are an intelligent group.

Kicking a guy when he's down.
Some people in this thread have no class.

Kicking someone when they're down . . . short memory?? Perhaps you'll recall that Charlotte Observer contribution, or the constant enjoyment :wacko: gets out of shining any negative light upon United just to stir the pot; the ad nauseum threads harping on the "painful clause", "undesirable consequences of living where English is not spoken" that the mechanics and related would suffer if they didn't bend over and take it; how about the plastering of negativity regarding the RC4 and now, most recently, the MDA pilots. There is a whole lot more in the memory bag that could be pulled out for inspection, but I don't have the time nor inclination.
I don't think anyone is out of line -- they're serving just desserts; if it is true that one reaps what one sows then this thread is living proof.

Kick, kick, slap, slap. The pig pile is long and distinguished; so whose fault is that?
A trade unionist would not threaten other members with being sued or jailed because they stood up for what their members wanted.
A trade unionist would not write an editorial in The Charlotte Observer filled with untruths and criticized other labor unions at US Airways.
A trade unionist would not be in bed with management and let themselves be used.
A trade unionist would not spread rumor after rumor about things that never happen.
Do I need to go on?

I have to agree with many of those who are posting here.
There was a time when I was very impressed with this individual. I truly believed that he had the best interest of the pilot group at heart. After flying with him I honestly believed that, from the most junior to the most senior, he was interested in protecting careers.
Even after the furlough I trusted him. I believed that he was fighting in the best interests of the furloughees and standing up for us at MEC meetings.
Over time I realized how badly I had been fooled. And recently, after reading the MidAtlantic threads, I can only be ashamed of myself for ever believing in him.
This individual has political ambitions that I believe to be entirely self-serving. He will use whatever "faction" he believes to be politically advantageous for him. At one time it was the junior pilots and the BWI F/O rep.
Then when the tides turned, so too did he.
I think that the LGA pilots made a wise decision. I respect this Captain for volunteering his time and his effort to his pilot group. However, until he learns to to represent his constituants equally and without bias, I just don't think he is the best man for the job.
ALPA volunteer wings are silver.
Member wings are gold.
There is a reason. It is because the general membership is the boss, and the representative a servent-leader. It would do some well to remember that.

In the military silver trumps gold at the LT and Maj/Lt. Col levels. Where do you think a lot of pilots come from?
