There is NO CURRENT IVR VOTE POLL showing that 80% of ALL ac pilots favor fighting the age 60 issue(s). THAT is a lie.
If you really believe that bs, from acpa, why dont you man up, and show us the certified results?
THE LAST IVR VOTE WAS IN 2006. LESS than 50% of the pilots voted to fight the issues. The age 60 IVR vote that was used in the current news release by acpa.
The vote was taken in 2006. Not 2010. The rules, were different then.
For those of you, who like to see that 80% of the pilots supported the mandatory retirement of 60. Do the math, less than 50% of the ac pilots supported the age 60 issue.
IVR # 72
May 8 2006
Certified, Audited results:
3083 eligible voters
1840 voted
1382 yes
0458 no
so only 1382 of 3082 voted yes. LESS than 1/2 the members voted to fight this. acpa is not, representing its members.
A new poll, which acpa would never do, would show even less yes votes.
The world has changed, and so should acpa,ac, and the individuals who only see the world in the rearview mirror.
If....acpa, wanted to, they could have another IVR vote, They dont want to, as they clearly know that less than 1/2 of the pilots wanted to fight this issue. And that was way back in 2006.
All the rules have changed.
The special interest group(s) that are running acpa, and ran acpa in the past, are closed to any type of change, except the specific ones that they are after.
Have any of you seen a briefing from the Age 60 Committee in recent times?
Has acpa clearly told any of you what they think is going to happen?
