then there’s our infamous BK whom I have no clue how he still has a job. The guy is a total disgrace to our group.
The solution is quite simply really, a block button, and heavier moderation.
the one dude yesterday stating that we make more than delta? I mean really? Yes, he’s a data guy and, and he might be correct in the long run, but come on man. It’s giving the company a foot to stand on during negotiations. Stuff like that needs to maybe be moderated more. That’s why it’s always been said, “don’t negotiate in public”.
why BK is gaining traction is due to the fact that the IPA, like any other union, have members that differ in opinions.
I’ve flown with guys who want home basing. Others who want that other type of bidding —for the love of me I forgot the name— , or tons more money cus UPS will never enforce article 13 language.
it’s okay for people to rally behind others who differ opinions.
to me a simple block button or a report button would be beneficial when attacks are becoming personal.
JB attacking a line pilots flight, in a public forum? Really? Why? Why is this allowed? What is the relevance of a IPA pilot that pays dues that has 1 flight that’s in the opinion of a retiree not good, beneficial to us as a group? Why isn’t that moderated? Why is that dude JB given total authority to just disparage anyone who doesn’t drink the IPA cool aid?
then there’s the guy that for everything has to make every post political. FFS man, he needs to go to away already. He seems like a sharp man, has valuable input but has to make everything god damn political. That’s the stuff that needs to be moderated and these people warned to stop or go away.

Disagree. Let IPA members read what they please and figure it out. We are a smart group and the majority has proven we will almost always separate fact from BS.

I hate reading some of that stuff too, but beefing up moderation is a slippery slope and should not be the tool that is used.
