Why a paid DALPA official would chose that post to belittle is absolutely inexcuseable.

767-400 pulls into gate next to us tonight and boom goes the slide on 2R. Pilot calls over ramp freq and says "ramp apparently the slide on 2R has blown." Poor FA has only been on the job 6 months.

Attacking me won't do anything to help your credibility alfa. You haven't shown me anything except your predictable deflection from what YOU said. For review, you used the total number of active pilots to "prove" that DAL is really not slowly liquidating assets. A number of us have shown you that you are wrong and that you don't even know the clear published definition of the word, and all you do is attack, denigrate and change the subject. Very predictable.

I don't know if you are just not used to ever being questioned in that DALPA echo chamber, or you're panicked about possibly seeing the end of your gravy train. But whatever the reason, you guys simply have to stop this constant obfuscation. It's just too obvious. You had better figure out how to communicate factually and truthfully, instead of the constant obfuscation that you refer to as communication. Despite all your efforts with this obfuscation strategy, it's only served to bring you closer to being beaten by a website and an idea. That should tell you something, if you would only listen.

Think about it.

Carl

Scambo can defend himself, but I'm pretty sure he meant that Bucking Bar's posts have been extremely well thought out, factual, and measured. Yet alfaromeo (an unelected MEC bureaucrat) used one of Bar's posts to belittle what he wrote with a dopey statement about taking poison.

I guess 6 months is long enough to have had enough.

Did she grab two beers and head for employee parking?

Ha ha. Another good one on the QCQ. The dude jumping off the cliff. I guess he's like the autoflight system that when it reaches its functional limit it may not meet the requirements the aircrew is demanding of it.

Now who found this suicidal picture and thought that it could apply to an autopilot? Because I like there way of thinking and posting pictures.



BTW, I feel this directed towards my airplane and I don't appreciate it.

But I'll bite my tongue and hope for a ALL OF THE ABOVE in the Q&A, because that's what I'm clicking. I must admit though, something ain't right when you get a True/False wrong three times in a row. I think I was just being stubborn or needed a cup of coffee.
