APC Moderators are unpaid, uncompensated pilot volunteers who have agreed to help attempt to keep the dialog on APC pointed in a positive direction. For full transparency, in the past moderators have received a Christmas gift in the form of a modest Amazon gift card. However, we view this as a gift, not compensation.

Moderators are not "partners" in Internet Brands (the parent company of APC).

ACL, Johnso, 80?

Any moderator who finds themselves elected or appointed to any ALPA MEC position would do well to discuss their participation on APC with MEC counsel and Mike Abram's office.

That would be expressly counter to the APC goals of establishing a healthy online aviation community. There is no such "rule".

Strange his training has been postponed until after the election...

Why is he in the running for FO when he has a CA bid award. This is not right.

I answered this question two or three times to the Chairman of C44. I answered it the same way every time it was asked. The rumors of any financial stake are 100% dead wrong and without truth.

On DPA:

Never publicly or privately supported them. Never sent in a card, nor money. Do not believe they are the answer for the Delta Pilots.

On the BBQ: It was a nice day in ATL for a BBQ. Do not follow the DPA web site. Knew of no BBQ. Again C44 Chairman asked me that, and I clarified the statement on here at his request. I rescued two beagle pups that day. That was how nice of a day it was here in ATL that given day.

Guess I have blinders on; would have thought someone could run for the position without having to pass muster with the man at the top. I'm sure some can easily cite justification for such a system, but it seems eerily like something the Politburo would have in place.

Whoever he is, he's definitely not a DAWGS fan. Maybe he's an upset vols fan. I'd be studying that even with an ugly rocky top orange T helmet.
