TonyC & Albie,

I've flown with both of you guys. I like and respect both of you.

I'm one of "those guys" that actually reads and tries to understand TAs before I vote on them. You guys seem to have a better understanding of many of our issues than the "Average Joe" and I do my best to try to appreciate the points you are trying to make.

At this point I'd like to see the two of you;

- Take a deep breath ...
- Focus
- Turn up your hearing aides

We voted for this Contract and we're now forced to live with it whether we like it or not. I find that I'm sometimes telling APCers that if they don't like something to get involved and try to fix it!

You've both done that ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!*?

This is starting to sound like the "Burglar Call" story?

While on patrol, I arrested a burglar who’d injured himself running from a home. He told me he’d broken in and unhooked the phone before searching for valuables. But he’d panicked when he heard a woman’s voice. I entered the house and heard the same voice: “If you’d like to make a call, please hang up and try your call again.”

It's time to get over it and move on. We now have more important things on the agenda.

Happy Holidays,


MM
