You could rub broken glass in your eyes to get an idea.

Hope she's not a commuter, I have a feeling a Jumpseat is going to be a little harder to get.

No she is in Houston I’m pretty sure. Apologies to all the normal Houston folk out there, but there has to be something in the water there to make them a little crazy.

While I understand your position, did she actually violate the policy? I didn’t get all the way through, but it seemed that she was very careful never to mention her employer, Kirby, or anything that ties her to UAL. She was also in plain clothes. I’m thinking it was carefully done to avoid violating the social media policy.

I really tried to listen but it was so bad. I finally gave up after she talked about her FO begging her to teach him how to do visuals.

I'm sorry but totally inaccurate characterization, and only people inside the industry would know that that is inaccurate. Very irresponsible as a Rep or at least ALPA member.

and potentially at the risk of agreeing with you. I think an online Tucker Carlson audience likely already has thier mind made up about those things and she is just a providing license/certfication/ credentialized confirmation of thier beliefs.
Like with a lot of things these days it’s some sense surrounded by a lot of nonsense.
Tuckers audience doesn’t need any empirical evidence. They never needed it.

ALPA published an unprecedented statement, but they have legal obligation and duty of fair representation to all of its pilots and even non-members. It's astounding how many pilot don't understand this.

Must not have been any exciting developments in Russian grocery cart technology to report on that day.

It would be exceptionally easy to argue that she violated:

VIII.1.A(1) Willful violation of this Constitution and By-Laws;
VIII.1.A(3) Willful disobedience or failure to comply with an established policy or any other decision of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, the Executive Council, or the member’s Master Executive Council, Local Executive Council, or Local Council;
VIII.1.A(6) Entering into an employment agreement, or any contract that might injure the Association.
VIII.1.A(9) Acting in any manner to circumvent, defeat or interfere with collective bargaining between the Association and an employer or with existing collective bargaining agreements.
VIII.1.A(10) Doing any other act that undermines the Association as an institution or interferes with its performance of its legal or contractual obligations. (emphasis mine)

(10) is kind of the catch all for anything the Association considers bad, and I can guarantee you that this would be the one they got her on.

As far as United, apparently she did slip up at one point and mentioned United, but beyond that, our media policy requires that she gain approval for "[discussing] United, matters related to United, or our industry with the media." (again, emphasis mine) So even if she didn't mention United by name, it's still against policy.

I don't know that she didn't go through this process, but I have my serious doubts given her loose cannon nature and how much she clearly thinks she's bulletproof.
