Flight 56 Daedalians and National Members; The Flight 56 Flight Captain, Vince Caterina posted an extremely relative announcement a couple of weeks ago that is open to anyone signed in on Apollo. You can reference it below this announcement.

Upon careful reflection (along with the personal embarrassment that I didn’t take the time to realize exactly what was in the by-law change, specifically 9.04c, when I voted for acceptance) I wrote the national leadership highlighting my severe concern of this language that is not, in my opinion, consistent with the heart and soul of this organization. This is not about the proposed membership criteria change…enough has been published allowing each of us to draw his/her own conclusions on opening up membership. This is about the way the vote is conducted, specifically the “silence is consent” (my words) language in the referenced by-law section. Lt Gen Owens personally responded and said the following (with his permission to share):

“Thank you for your note and concerns about the vote. My intent is to be fully transparent with this effort and we will publish the raw vote for everyone’s benefit when complete. If the vote does not meet the 2/3 threshold on its own merit, I will go back to the BoD to discuss next steps. I share your feeling about the importance of hearing the voice of the membership and while I believe in the proposed course of action, I want our future supported by the members regardless of the outcome just as you do. Please hang with us to see this through.”

I found this gracious and believe he understands our concerns. Whether the current voting achieves a quorum (20% of active membership) or 2/3 of the votes ACTUALLY cast (per his stipulation) in favor of the membership criteria changes remain to be seen. Regardless, it is imperative that the membership contact the national Adjutant, Col Jim Kellogg (at daedalus@daedalians.org) and let him know your feelings about the current by-law language (positive or negative) along with recommendations to the Board of Directors if the current voting results are in fact referred for further action. It is my personal belief that 9.04c language needs to be altered eliminating the “silence is consent” clause through a raw vote special election. I no longer see the need to suspend the current election given Gen Owens’ intentions.

Thanks for your time.

V/V, Lt Col Bob Kay, USAF (Ret)

As most of you know, we are in the midst of a contentious vote to vastly expand the Order’s membership eligibility criteria to include large numbers of individuals who not only do not have in common with existing members ratings or roles to actually bear responsibility for command and control of aircraft, but who do not even have in common with existing members the risk of being airborne or any duties whatsoever for operating an aircraft. Furthermore, the Order has manipulated to pass this proposal by subterfuge, passing in 2014 a change to the Bylaws that stipulates that non-votes are counted in favor of the proposal. This is such an incredibly undemocratic concept that I was astonished that it had originated in an organization comprised of American military pilots who have put their lives at risk defending America, the Constitution and the principles of democracy. Because of the latter alone, I oppose this proposal and urge everyone to do so for the same reason. To those in favor of the proposal, the ends do not justify the means. To those opposed, it is IMPERATIVE that you VOTE.
