I was at the Alps roadshow in PTC. I'm informed and I'm trying to get ALL the facts. Carl has posted a lot of facts but so have the Alpa supporters. We can't ignore that. It just gets so old to get on this site and see 10 posts in a row by Carl where he insults people. Here are some quotes;

If you really were a rep for 6 years, you truly must have been an awful one.

And I thought you were a serious person. You're just another ALPA apologist

Or people who need to lie about what's actually in the SWAPA contract...eh Pineapple Guy? (calling someone a liar)

what you've stated above because it shows such an amazing lack comprehension.

Your problem is that you see yourself as part of that big honey pot someday where you get max pay while staying home with your family every night on flight pay loss. (I know this guy....this is not his goal)

Wow! You are truly Kool-Aid infused

Y-Zass! (this was funny, I actually laughed out loud, thanks for making me spill my popcorn!!)

, but I also know it's your job to lie for the MEC...while on full flight pay loss. (do you really know Alfa's union position? I don't)



These were just from the last couple of days. I'm happy that Carl is pointing out facts and problems with Alpa. I'm also glad that Alpa supporters are digging into DPA. Sifting through the mudslinging rhetoric just gets so dog gone old. The above quotes distort his message.....in my opinion.

Dal88, I think people are finally wising up to your message. I'll bet many surveys will be supportive of restoration.

Carl, keep on doing what your doing but seriously, try to avoid the stuff above. The in-house union drive at my old carrier really did die a quick death from just one person. He was seen as a forum rabble rowser. The guy penned a letter and emailed it to the masses. Union drive supporters, like myself, crapped our pants when we saw this. We tried to have him tone down his internet rhetoric. He did but then sent out "the letter." Non-union supporters picked up on this and ran to the goal line. Carl, I know it sucks but you really do have to cater to people with softer feelings. (now I sound like a wheenie!! I'm not, really) The competition will use anything and everything they can to discredit you. Likewise, I would expect the same from DPA to discredit Alpa.

Hoserpilot...eh
Of note the C44 LEC meeting had the best attendance I have seen in at least the past few years.
