It's almost inexplicable to understand how some of the reps turn...RippleRock wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 11:04 pm There's been something strange going on in ACPA for the past decade or so. The last real legit leader was JMB. All downhill from there. Something happens to those who run the association, MM is no exception, in fact with all the dictatorial MOU's, he's one of the worst. He loses no sleep over short changing the pilots he was elected to represent. There must be something twisting their brain in Ben Smith or CR's hot tub water.
They all end up as an arm of Flt Ops Management and it's the best way to describe ACPA. Representing the pilots group and upholding the contract is secondary at best. ACPA is ALWAYS the first to jump into the "burning building" to save the Corp. They don't seem to understand how little their "contribution" actually makes to the bottom line, while showing little regard for how disasterous the MOU's are to its own members.
I've lost hope there will be any legit change. One thing we can be sure of there is no shortage of Management titles awarded to the MEC Chair or negotiator that sells out the membership for the biggest dollar amount. It's like a bad re-run.
I heard in at least one case an individual has a business and they want to sell a service to the company, clearly a conflict of interest if they are trying to represent us while also lobbying to enrich themselves in a seperate deal.
I also heard that there are people in ACPA being paid for consulting to an outside 3rd party business, seems like something that should be disclosed when you are paid by anyone other than AC.
Maybe the MEC and other senior committee members should also disclose how much AC stock they have. We have previously had reports of individuals bragging over how much money they made on AC shares during a time coincident to representing ACPA in critical roles and moments wrt our collective agreement. So who were they looking out for?
