Chip,
You are really stretching things here. First of all there is no conflict of interest. Your reps can easily perform there elected duties without affecting a seperate law suit. IF they sent a t/a out for a vote, this doesn't mean they condone or agree with the elimination of the DB plan. They could still personally vote no on any t/a put to the membership. Therefore, your claim that it would ruin their multi-million dollar lawsuit is false and mis-leading.
Second, their actions do not increase USAirways chances of filing for CH11. That chance remains around 99% regardless of any t/a's.
Thirdly, your claim that they are blocking the membership from voting is also false and misleading. It implies that they are using unfair or tactics, when in reality they are using their powers allowed by ALPA's structure and by-laws. You see, they are the elcted officials, not you. If you want to have their powers, why didn't you run for office? Oh, wait... You did, didn't you? And I believe you lost. Probably good reason for that.
The RC4 that you constantly bash, happen to represent a majority of the USAirways pilots. A fact that you can't stand because they disagree with your view point.
