Keg,
You need to go back and re read the post ol china. Since I am a PAYING MEMBER of AIPA for many many years, your statement of being ANTI-AIPA is not appropriate. One should not put both feet in thy mouth Keg as it always leaves thee with no leg to stand on!
I was also at the meeting Keg. Certainly a great show of support from the guys and gals from many regions and operators. Yes AIPA started the ball rolling by organizing it. Yes, it probably would not have even occurred without AIPA.
However Keg, a week later and NOTHING heard. A week later and what has AIPA suggested the J* folk and no doubt the whole bloody industry do about this clown who is hell bent on decimating this profession. A letter Keg, a letter from Jackson to BB and the useless Chief Pilot stating a motion of no confidence in the CEO. A letter that was no doubt thrown in the bin accompanied by hours of raucous laughter.
We need a show of force and CONSISTENT communication Keg to make this happen. We need CONSISTENT leadership on what actions that PROFESSIONAL negotiators and
PR folk suggest we do against these clowns.
Quite a naive statement and accusation to make towards "ratpoison, gordonramsay, metrosmoker and Van" of being anti AIPA when all we are basically asking is "WHAT THE F**K IS HAPPENING NOW" with NO communication whatsoever.
We all keep asking WHY AIPA are NOT spending OUR monies and utilizing professionals who deal with this type of vermin on a daily basis.
Why is that Keg??
