Lots of provoking over the term.

For over 30 years I’ve opposed and tried to end dues money spent on booze ever and the MEC laughed every time.

If you need to drink to do business, you need to step down.

I’m pi$$ed. Grow the F up. This just set us back a decade when it comes to professional representation and negotiating a multi billion dollar contract. :mad:

I still hope this is a hoax.

Write the resolution. After the BOD and now this, we shouldn’t be spending dues dollars on booze. I think you would have widespread pilot support.

Is it too much to ask of our union representation to conduct themselves in the manner and mindset that they would if they were Captaining one of Delta’s aircraft???

Excellent post.

There is some irony in this situation. The two ATL captain reps tried to get the MEC to limit alcohol in the hospitality suite their first meeting back in March 2016. Didn't pass.

World star hip-hop!!!

Agree with everyone else here. Why are they boozing when they're supposed to be working?

+1

NO dues for booze! I'm tired of hearing "free booze is the only compensation ALPA volunteers get". I don't want the kind of representation that can be bought with free booze.

This wasn’t some meeting of millennials. It was mostly, if not all, middle aged to over-the-hill white dudes whose first instincts are not to grab their cell phones! I will be shocked if video proof exists.

And there in lies the problem. If video of the hospitality shinanigans was made available they would have to act like adults. Those old white dudes could learn something from millennials and gen z.

I think this is serious enough without video to get the ball rolling on this much-needed change, IMHO.

This incident plus the recent arrest in Schiphol should get the ball rolling really fast.

Exactly. This is an embarrassment. Anything posted on APC is visible by anyone and indexable by Google and other search engines. Need to keep this and other sensitive material in closed forums like CC or closed FB groups. Sure, nothing is completely secure, but posting posting on APC is like airing your dirty laundry out for ANYONE to see.
