From: A proponent of...
I think we all are beginning to see the importance of our union being required to uphold the Code of Ethics. This situation is absurd and is creating a divide. Furthermore, the union's lack of interest to police their own is disgusting and undermines our efforts in contract negotiations and grievances. If the union lets it go why not the company. Solution: Letter from ALPA to these individuals explaining their breach of the code. Explain that they either defend their position or there will be a vote amongst the union for decertifying their membership. We have a closed shop, so these fools will still have to pay but anything other than that is really up to the union.
This problem needs to be rectified before I sign a new contract. If I get one of these charters it will improve my pay and QOL more than anything that is being negotiated.

I guess that would include an ex-chairman and neg. chairman who bid the triple without a pay rate, after saying that one might think twice before bidding it because there was no pay rate? Makes me want to puke.

This one still sticks in my craw. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Anthrax: I really have no proof of this, and given demonstrated human capacity for idiocy he/she could be "real", but I think CF is a troll. At least that makes me feel a little better about our profession...

When the flying is fine, the lifestyle nice, no one cares. But when the optimizer gets cranked up, and people junior to you are getting sweet deals, there's a problem. Corrupt or not, there's a problem. The company doesn't care because the trips are covered. The union doesn't care unless we do, and we're beginning to care. Open times needs an overhaul. I say we get Sibelius in here and have her fix it. When she does, and it's still a mess, phone Google. And as much as we'd like to host a blanket party for the offenders, we have to tread lightly. Don't want anyone to feel "harassed." Last thing we need here is the company issuing a subpoena, and there we are with the Hong Kong Four. The APC Dozen. Ease off the "trip-traders" and focus on the union. Get everyone you know to mail their reps and let's see if we can't get something in the upcoming contract. With bots and handshakes and the likes, these aren't the good ole days of first come, first serve.
