I was also very impressed, however I have a different take on the who and why. The union should be holding individuals to the publish code of ethics without some sort of vision,direction, or rules an organization will cease to exist. The company is only responsible if there is some sort of illegal activities unless they see some sort of benefit on correcting the wrong. It's obvious that the company sees this as an issue within the crew force and it's going to leverage it for future negotiations. I've heard SS talk about the gorilla in the room well ALPA created a gorilla. ALPA should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm not so easily impressed. The claim is a 2+ year investigation is in progress but has gone nowhere. I don't think their heart is in it.
I can't believe some of the passionate, but confused, posters. It's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff in this thread.
Do you guys post because the guys on the crew bus just don't understand your point? Well we don't either.

Why not treat charters the same as volunteer?
When times are good and people are on the volunteer list, one of the criteria for being assigned a trip is the amount of volunteer flying done in a defined preceding time frame.
How difficult would it be to have the same system in place for charters?
If you fly a charter you go to the bottom of the list and everyone who submits to pick up the next available charter is eligible to be assigned the trip before
you.
Seems like an easy fix to me. However I'm sure it's not that simple.

There is a quite simple fix to most of the problem with the charter wh*res, besides putting the rat bast*rds on a deserted island. They need to build the charter trips into bidpack lines. I talked to a charter rep and he said the vast majority of charter trips are known months in advance. There will be an occasional pop up charter that can't be put into the bidpack that the wh*res can fight over. Please write your SIG and block reps and suggest this. The company can't fix this, but we can!
