The venom directed at aipa presidents current and past is misplaced. It is the pilots themselves who accept or reject terms and conditions.

Back in 2008 there was a long haul EBA8 that was heavily backed by the then President and lead negotiator. Much robust debate occurred and the eba was rejected by about 75%. EBA9 in 2015 was supported by the then President. Again much debate ensued and the EBA was supported by more than 80% of pilots.

This showe rhat it is the pilots who decide to accept or reject an eba, not Individuals.

I understand it is easier for unsatisfied pilots to target individuals and place all the responsibility on them, rather than accepting the reality that it was actually your colleagues who accepted the terms and conditions offered. You probably do so because you want to believe that your colleagues share your opinions on the eba and induatrial issues, even though you know a majority might not. if you think any aipa President has the sole power to introduce an eba unilaterally then you are either wrong or you are saying that a majority of your colleagues are incapable of making up their own minds.
