Duplicity, delinquency and unbelievably, pilot apathy.
It got so slewed in HKG, that in recent negotiations it was mentioned that the union was a solid path to training and management for pilots. Disgraceful that it is so accepted and not called for what it is. I've seen guys scorned by managers, never to be trainers, all of a sudden after being in executive union positions, end up fast tracked through the system.
The most unlikely of candidates and it's fine by me, as long as it is called so by their peers.
