On the other hand, this gives management the ability to crush outspoken people and look the other way at the one's they like. Call out management on something that is wrong or something that could be done better and now miss a couple of trips because you commute, you could easily be terminated as a result.

And while SAPA has some very good people among it's ranks, it's leader doesn't fly and is out of touch with the rank and file and has but one key objective. When the VP of Ops says our president is the best he's worked with, that tells me we are not being adequately represented. The fact that management hated MM told me he was doing his job, and well!

With no policy, management can do what ever they want to the pilots.

Oh wait, they all ready do.....

And I've been here long enough to have seen it!
