Back to the Future
Back to the Future
It appears the ghosts of ACPA past found some plutonium this week, fired up the DeLorean and came raging back with a blast from the past and re entered the circus ring of the officially unofficial a.c.pilot forum. No word yet on who runs the joint - apparently no one cares. Suppose it's like the Landing Strip peeler bar every pilot seems to at one point to end up at, no one seems too worried that it is owned by the Hells Angels during the backstage "tour".
Happy endings aside, Doc may have said it best:
“The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style..."
And the way I see it, if you're gonna come back from the past as the recently disgraced Chair, why not do it with some style...
And style it was, but instead of a DeLorean, the forum got a dump truck that literally dumped shit all over the membership. It was evident the former chair thought his best strategy going forward was to go "Scott Pilgrim vs the world"
Only problem is that that movie features an awkward young guy while here we have an awkward old guy that doesn't see the problem with burning bridges faster than Brittney Spears losing her hair during a meltdown. No conservatorship is going to save this guy from being the most bid pilot to "avoid to fly with" since John Travolta thought scientology seemed like a good idea.
The elephant in the room is why the former MEC Chair chose now to make his come back tour. I mean even the "King of Pop" who shares the same first name, chose his timing with purpose even as he did too appear to go "Wacko Jacko".
With an election closing in a few days, it appears he came to the rescue of the architect of the popular reserve system "best fit" which is being better being known now as "best fist". This rocket engineer has decided he needs even more hats to wear and thus is offering even more services to the electorate. Apparently we can vote him in but we can't vote him out.
It has created for an interesting read as missiles are literally flying around more than the Korean peninsula. No pilot is safe: senior, junior, frequent poster, & former pals. Should prob check the NOTAMs before even thinking about lobbing a simple question about the lotto numbers as you may find a McMissile raining on you with insults & accusations.
It has been a sad time on ACPA Island but we should all be optimistic as like Marty McFly - we will drive by the clock tower on October 14th, the votes will come on down and we capture 1.21 gigawatts and head Back to the Future.

I mean, yes, it's very repetitive, but it's nice to be constantly reminded that my union cares about it's members.RegionalPilot wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 4:16 pm Oh man… You guys must be a delight to fly with…

Frig, one of my COVID jobs had me join Teamsters and it showed me how bad a union can really be. I was terminated after filing a greivence for not being paid when called in (as per federal law) and I was promptly terminated. The union basically said, "sucks to be you."

Mind you, he is ‘spamming’ the Air Canada forum with Air Canada stuff, so what is the beef?

Re: Back to the Future
Frankly I enjoy the read.
It’s kind of like this hour has 22 minutes in ACPA land.

Hopefully tomorrow when the vote closes there are three more fire extinguishers on it.

It doesn't matter. They will either go NORDO, or get chewed up and spat out.
ACPA is a "black hole" that consumes the good intentioned that advocate for open communication, accountability and Membership rights.
Happens every single time. Why would this time be different?

Re: Back to the Future
Overwhelming support for the new movement. The vote wasn't even close. YVR voted in all new reps as well, all supported by the P4C group. All three NEM candidates won and did so with authority, with the 4th place coming in with half the votes as all three winners.
The incumbent PBSC Chair/Negots Vice-Chair who came up with the terrible best fit came dead last. It was fun to see.
Re: Back to the Future
Because the folks who were elected this time around aren't a bunch of super senior self-serving boomers. The demographic shift at AC is underway.

Re: Back to the Future
Here's hoping the trend continues with whoever the new MEC Chair is.
