Flt_It_w_mitty,
I would not be happy myself if BALPA where to be left rudderless; this will not happen. We do have qualified people that will be interested in applying for the GS position; additionally it is the intent to advertise the position to make sure we get the best person for the job. I will fill the position in the interim; please remember I have extensive NEC experience.
I would hope to have someone mutually acceptable to all within a few months.
Regards,
John.
