Cracked the code Herr Spackler.
When I got this account years ago, it was in a fit of disbelief of how many were here buying the carefully orchestrated talking points designed to effectively manage our expectations.
Thus, I chose the screen name TheManager as I contemplated how I would not sit back and allow a blatantly emotionalized propaganda campaign to run unchecked by "reManaging" those expectations.
Again, ALPA is the only choice. DPA died when TC couldn't let go at the critical mass and step back to allow proper adult supervision.
Regardless, concerning ALPA: Time to change the message and influence the structure. Resist the bull turd managing of expectations and use the voting process to R&R reps and most importantly change the policy manual to truly make bottom up changes.
Web boards, email, text, twitter, and FB are powerful organizing and communications tools. Remember a little something called Arab Spring? Just look how quickly they choked on the CDOs they tried to slip past the pilots.
And I do mean slip past. The fine gentleman who was working as one of the architects within the group that was putting them together,
FOR MONTHS! told us that they were sworn to secrecy and not allowed to discuss what they where doing for LOA 117 regarding CDOs.
He was aghast when we explained why we were against them as this had been his baby we deemed ugly. Got him to admit that they had a giant optics problem with them and a down right shameful lack of communications, that had they been forthright with, might have seen them adopted.
I think he went a little to far right after that when he alluded that CDO 2.0 is currently being developed.
Wasn't really shocked. Are any of you? Just ask yourself who benefits the most from them
. Just swallow. They are good for you!
