They’ve got more info than any individual pilot or union committee member has concerning a pliot’s VIPS activity, BLAs, scheduler’s on duty when shenanigans happen, etc. If management wanted it to stop, they could easily do so. They sure as hell wanted HKG commuters to forfeit the housing allowance and made that whole fiasco happen pretty efficiently.
I wasn’t referring to giving names of pilots who supposedly do this. Im referring to gathering information of how this is done and to what extent. I’m talking about management looking into their systems to see what the actual data shows.
I’m not entirely convinced this even happens. Because like you said, they could have this data easily. Unless they don’t even know to look into it? If it was happening, and management knew if it, why wouldn’t they want to stop it?
My whole point is that if we believe it’s something that’s happening, and we don’t want it to happen, only management can update their systems to stop it. This isn’t something that’s in the purview of the Union. So again, if it’s happening, and we want it to stop, we need information and inform management.
Alternatively, I’m all for fair warning. Let people know this is something that is going to be looked into. If it’s being done, people need to know it off.
