Referring to significant changes made to API; terms, conditions, rules & claim process, without prior consultation & permission of Members falls under same.
Pilots don't appreciate unauthorised changes, whether from a company, protection plan or recreation club.
Especially if they only become aware when they claim.
Highlighting facts isn't being negative. It's being positive & proactive regarding the truth.
The solution is for Members to have an annual vote, approving who runs their own fund, and how. This is a
legal requirement for such a fund in certain jurisdictions. It takes 5-minutes the way APC (a social club) do it. Nothing to be afraid of.
Unless you're a paid, overseas Consultant, fearful pilots won't approve or appreciate what you've done.
Speaking of pay, who determines how much an API Consultant gets paid from pilot member contributions? It appears the unelected, unappointed Consultant now decides his own monthly API pay. Where else does
that happen? Members have no say or control over such things, that's clear.
