Ok lets get back to what this thread is about.... LIPS deductions.
EPC has been a great organisation, still is, I would urge the committee of fine men to reconsider the decision for the betterment of the members and to restore some goodwill towards the loyal members of EPC.
EPC was set up to give EK pilots a vehicle in which they could have some benifits from a collectively strong bargaining point to gain access to clubs and certain places that pilots could get together and have social interaction, along they way it has morphed into what we have today with all the associated benefits.
I want to encourage, nay, urge the committee to reverse the decision taken regarding the deductions and commit to the original charter of a "Pilot's Club" which gives all members opportunity to use the concessions and benefits available...... that gentlemen also includes the continuance of assisting those members of LIPS in collecting and growing the Income protection scheme so important to all pilots should they fail to maintain a license.
LIPS has not been a detractor of EPC, in fact it sponsors events like SIDS and STARS as a partner with EPC. Now if this is a personal conflict with the directors of LIPS then that needs to be addressed ASAP, I know you guys on both sides, and you all do a fantastic job.... so lets put the dummy back in and strive for a sensible resolution.
