I have heard a number of people talk of a "Conflict Of Interest" regarding the BAcc's chairman trying to protect his own personal long haul command aspirations, rather than the greater good of the majority and a harmonious joining of groups. I don't have access to the BALPA forums, so can not see where or why this may be speculated but if true this would be considered to be abusing their position. This could just be based on lack of information but as they say no smoke without fire!
