The thread is about ethics or lack thereof in recent union representation. Sympathetic to the view of many crew what a bad look it is jumping from President to negotiating against your own. Don’t envy that poison chalice.
Understand the first company job may have been as a very junior assistant to the managers of the pilot program.
I get it that he was only asked to be a negotiatior when Roly left and many others subsequently turned down the job. But even if They struggled to find anyone, and he was their last choice, would you really fail to see how it would be perceived?
Maybe it was the only office job left on offer?
Joyce has announced for years the last 8 A380s were not getting ordered. That decision was made long ago. Digging up old news. Alan said in about 1000 articles going back for years they wouldn’t take anymore A380s.
Must say I was impressed with the new AIPA presidents insights today.
I think he will be very effective.Seems to have the pilots interests as his primary focus. Hope he can return some ethics back to the role of President.
