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.

People have been saying this for over a decade now. I have yet to see the media use APC as a source. Believe it or not, but reporters don't have the time to scavenge pilot forums for gossip... they are too busy keeping tabs on all the dentist forums

Now is the perfect time to permanently end using our dues money for the purchase alcohol. Ever.

If you can’t do business without alcohol, please step down.

The dues money wasted at the BOD meeting was once again a staggering number.

Look what the result was, Joe DePete got elected president and he has already stabbed every professional pilot in the back and feathered his own bed.

He isn’t a pilot and now we are stuck with him for 4 years.

Who does DePete care about? Himself.

We actually have no idea if alcohol was involved in this criminal act.
