=============================================
(Among other reasons), This is a GREAT VICTORY for the "majority" of APFA members
Too bad THB did'nt win by a (legitimate) "5" votes , to coincide with the 5 votes that the company A$$ HOLE(JW), "Thought" he won by !!
WOW, if the "majority" of you guys/gals at APFA keep "this kind of action" up, I'm going to have to consider comparing you to the STRONGEST Union, in the USA("BAR NONE"), the West Coast Dockworkers(Longshoremen) Union.
From the bottom of my heart,
"WELCOME BACK(the REAL) APFA", You have been sorely missed.

Congrats to all who voted in favor of new leadership. However, I have a gut feeling that your union board is just going to sit on this for a few months while they "gather their thoughts"
In my estimation, it's going to take the DOL jumping in and ordering Mr. Ward to stand down. I believe the worst they can do is impose fines until he does. In any event, I don't see your new leader taking office much before the end of the year.
I find it shameful that of a membership of nearly 25K that only roughly 15K felt the need to vote. It's not like they weren't given large windows of voting time. I can't understand someone paying their hard earned money every month for representation, then not participating when asked to vote on something as important as this obviously was to so many.
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but am I to understand that this new leader is not the type to be lining up to kiss AA's fanny unlike Mr. Ward? Personally, I believe a union that does not stand on the side of labor is worthless. From what I've seen and read from each of you, Mr. Ward appeared to stand for management rather than labor on more than a few occasions.
However it all turns out - good luck to all Flight Attendants. I believe 2005 is going to be a battle year between each of you and AA.

Actually, I think the BOD is coming to the realization that thwarting the DOL is not a good move on their part. Particularly, since they have been informed that they can each be held personally responsible financially through fines and even through possible jail time if the DOL determines that a fraud was perpetrated in the election.
It's not nice to fool Mother DOL!

Let us all hope that the BOD understands the implications of their actions. Certainly the members don't want their dues money going to fight individual legal expenses!
