To All ALPA Members - 2    September 27, 1948

g. A pilot should refrain from any action whereby, for his personal benefit or gain, he abuses or takes advantage of the confidence reposed in him by his fellow members.

h. It is steadfastly to be borne in mind that the great trust placed in the pilot is to be performed within and not without the bounds of law.

i. Marked attention and unusual hospitality on the part of a pilot toward company officials, uncalled for by the personal relations of the parties, subject both the supervisory personnel and the pilot to misconstruction of motives and should be avoided. A self-respecting independence in the discharge of a pilot's duties, without denial or diminuation of the courtesy and respect due the company officials is the only proper foundation for cordial personal relations between the pilots and company officials.

j. Nothing operates more certainly to create or foster popular prejudice against pilots as a group, and to deprive the profession of that full measure of public esteem and confidence which belongs to the piloting profession than do breaches of the use of alcohol. There is no room in the Association for this type of conduct.

k. A pilot shall always maintain the proper respect toward his uniform.

l. A pilot should always maintain a respectful attitude toward his employer and be ever cognizant of the obligations he owes, with emphasis on fairness and due consideration.

m. It shall be the responsibility of a pilot to deliver his maximum degree of efficiency at all times.

n. It is improper for a pilot to permit his name to be used in any manner which is calculated or likely to deceive or injure the profession or to lower the dignity or standing of the profession.
