Hustler,& Flap 5
I never intended to convey that what had occurred was acceptable nor do I consider it to be acceptable behavior from a CEO of a company. The point that I was trying to get across was that the individual concerned had been removed from the union for a transgression and therefore it would be very difficult for the union to become involved, nor do I feel that they should do so. For the union to confront the company over this issue when the person concerned is not even a member dilutes the AOA's position with the company.
I agree with you that something needs to be done , but it must be something outside the parameters of the AOA, in other words organised by the crews themselves.
The whole handling of this affair is disgusting, so if you have any suggestions I'm prepared to listen, but I feel very strongly that the AOA should remain impartial in this issue which was the original intent of my first post.
