Ciabattoni resigns

The following is USAPA’s Executive Vice-President Dave Ciabattoni’s resignation letter:

 

Dear BPR,

I hereby resign my position as Executive Vice President of USAPA effective immediately. I will simultaneously leave the Scope Monitoring Committee. Finally, at the end of the LOA 93 Grievance I shall resign from the System Board.

I must be blunt here: the mutation of USAPA from a democratic, line pilot oriented and controlled union into the current administration that is about enrichment and ease of life style for President Cleary and his supporters is nearly complete and in record time.

Had the Board been more assertive, as is your responsibility and Constitutional duty to enforce accountability, this might not have happened, but you were not and as a result, I have no desire to be associated with such an organization.

I fully expect that my complete resignation letter will be sent to the pilots when I make it available to USAPA. Nonetheless, the resignation letter will be made available to the pilot group through private email lists and hard copy postings in all the crew rooms to preclude USAPA censorship.

I chose to be part of a new Union that was founded on transparency, fiscal responsibility, and true representational leadership. Currently, I find none of that in the leadership of USAPA.

Good luck to you all and my sincere wish that USAPA rights itself and finds its way.

Dave Ciabattoni

    Notice that Mr. Ciabattoni is making his resignation public before it comes out in any USAPA venue because Mr. Ciabattoni is concerned about USAPA's censorship. Readers, if Mr. Ciabattoni is concerned with USAPA censorship, then so should we all. Who is responsible for censorship? Cleary, Mowrey, and/or Theuer. Do you still think those three are telling you the whole truth? Please visit cactuspilot.com to learn more, have your voice heard, and learn more of the truth.

    You may be a slow learner, Dave, but at least you now know what the West has known all along. I'm sure your section 29 letter will be typed if you are one minute or one dollar short....

    I hope everyone will try and get together as of this moment. The fact that Ciabattoni went public is a tremendous opportunity to topple Cleary and his fellow despots. Just watch how Cleary handles what is about to happen to him. Cleary has hurt this group terribly. I personally will not let up until he, Mowery, and Parella are gone.

    He's not a slow learner. He's very bright, he's just ticked that usapa hasn't done it right. And you know what 'it' means.

    Mr. Cleary:

    In your 12-27-09 President's message you wrote,

    "While Dave’s {Ciabattoni's} assertions about the direction of the union and my leadership are unfortunate (and, it goes without saying, incorrect), no one can fault his passion or his past hard work on behalf of his fellow pilots as we all struggle during this time of industry turmoil."

    Mr. Cleary, is it a fact, or your opinion, that Mr. Ciabattoni's assertions of the union's direction are unfortunate and incorrect?

    I, for one, think Mr. Ciabattoni's assertions are very fortunate, and very correct... but (in order to comply with USAPA Comm. Policy) that's just my opinion.

    Many more of us are watching what you say, and watching what you do.

    So, what is it, Mr. Cleary? Fact or opinion that Dave Ciabattoni's assertions are unfortunate and incorrect?

    Regards,

    Berdo
