Day one began with a report from \nPresident Cleary on internal office procedures and duties. It was apparent to your PHL Reps \nthat things were not running as smoothly as one should expect. After clear direction from the \nBPR, we believe the matter will reach a successful conclusion. The Board made it very clear \nthat the Officers primary duty is to the Pilots, under the direction of the BPR.'' \n\nUSAPA LGA Domicile Update – June 17, 2009  \n''First of all, this was our first “face-to-face” BPR meeting with our newly elected Officers in \nposition. I would like to report that “the pilots’ business” is being conducted without any \nhiccups after transitioning from the old leadership to the new, but that is not the case. We spent \nthe first two hours of the meeting listening to and discussing reports of certain officers \nconducting business outside of their responsibilities as defined in the Constitution and Bylaws. \nI would be glad to give more details in person, but the message I want to leave with you is that \nyour Board made clear in no uncertain terms that they expected the Officers to put aside any \ndifferences and conduct the pilots’ business in a professional and responsible matter.'' \n\nUSAPA CLT Domicile Update - June 23, 2009  \n''The meeting opened with a disclosure to the BPR that one of our newly-elected Officers \nrequired some guidance from the BPR on how we needed to move forward. Issues had \ndeveloped that were indicative of policies being instituted and behaviors being followed that \nwere, in our opinion, outside the duties and responsibilities listed in the USAPA Constitution \nand not in the best interests of our pilots. As in the cockpit, there is only one Captain, and the \nuse of CRM is the tool that ensures we all work cohesively to safely complete our job. In our \ncase, our pilots overwhelming elected Mike Cleary to Captain this union, and we enforced the \nfact that we expect the same philosophy and respect to occur among our newly-elected officers \nthat we observe every day in our cockpits. In the rare instances that immediate decisions are to \nbe made, reasonable requests by our President must be followed by the officers until input \nfrom the BPR can be sought. The BPR fully understands the complexities of running this \norganization, and we look forward to working cohesively with the entire officer core that you \nhave elected. We intend to bring you the best representational product available and have made \nthat point clear to the Officers, that we expect them to work together for the benefit of the \nentire pilot group and the common goal of following your direction into the future.'' \n\nSummary: The USAPA Officers are President Mike Cleary, Vice President Randy Mowrey, \nExecutive Vice President Ciabattoni, and Secretary/Treasurer Rob Streble. According to the \nLGA Domicile Reps. the BPR “spent the first two hours of the meeting listening to and \ndiscussing reports of certain officers conducting business outside of their responsibilities as \ndefined in the Constitution and Bylaws.”   \nThis is  a very serious charge. Why have there only been cursory Domicile Rep. comments \nwith no real information provided? Why didn’t USAPA report to the pilots on an item that took \nup a significant portion of a meeting day and dues dollars? Why do the line pilots tolerate \nUSAPA's lack of published BPR meeting minutes? Why are the line pilots not informed of \nserious issues effecting union business or questions of professionalism, ethics and integrity? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nUnbiased Facts can send you an email notice of additions to the Unbiased Facts web site.
