He and others like him attend UAL "influencer" events and training. He has posted at Aviate which was certainly done at the behest of the company. Whether he is being paid by them or is just getting perks and privileges, it is extra-contractual work that is based on his PILOT position. That's a non-starter for actual union members.
What happens down the road if anyone ever gets a spine about contract negotiations? Will he be posting videos "on behalf of the pilots" (and actually on the orders of the company) apologizing for job actions?
The conflicts of interest here are obvious and totally avoidable.
His newest post is inside info on aircraft crew rest accommodations. Maybe next week he can show everyone how the cockpit door operates. Security anyone?
It's probably time for ALPA to update professional ethics for the times. Maybe professional standards should have a word with him about his activity - and his haircut for that matter.

In fact, after the accident, KLM was looking for him to help with the investigation. Unfortunately, he wasn't available.

Interesting that guys in this thread think he should be fired for his instagram posts. I think the bigger threat and the easier move by the company would be to hunt down guys in this thread and fire them for cyber bullying. Leave the poor dude alone. Posting his real name on here is a total foul and you guys know better. If you don't like his IG... don't look at it. Pretty simple. Now, Go put on your white new balance sneakers and cargo shorts and go to the swap meet.

Is this guy on a Flight Operations Special Assignment as a media representative? If so, that should be transparent. Either way, the ALPA code of ethics addresses this:
An Air Line Pilot shall refrain from any action whereby, for their personal benefit or gain, they take advantage of the confidence reposed in them by their fellow members.
They will conduct all their affairs in a manner which reflects credit on themselves and their profession.

Yea, posting a link to his IG and saying "I didn't say what his name was" is an elementary excuse at best. Might as well post his address and say, "well I didn't say who!". in the end, it's just keyboard bullying. It's beneath us and the profession we are in. Read through most of your 1.5 posts per day since joining and 90% are you bashing someone else. You must be a very sad, sad little man. Guessing divorced several times or never married, your kids hate you and you spend your layovers and time off at a bar alone hoping to find someone to talk politics with so you can share your "World Views" with. Classy man, really classy. Saw your reditt threads too much of the same. Remember Small minds discuss other people, good minds discuss events and great minds discuss ideas.

When he’s not clowning around in the flight deck posting embarrassingly unprofessional 20 second video’s, he’s posting his vacation pics while on a trip. “Wait as a pilot the job is just a big paid vacation???” Hahaha YEAH RIGHT.
I want to a see a video of him waking up at 3:30 in the morning only to show up to a broken airplane. Then we can get that exclusive 20 second video of pax walking up and using him as a punching bag, the “sorry we’re delayed” announcements with pax eye rolls in the background, etc.
