Martin, Martin, Martin ... how's that Instrument Rating coming along?

Knowledge is required to make sense of observations. Right now, your ability to look and understand is a little bit beneath that of a dog watching a refrigerator.

If somebody is taking my job, or trying to take it by undercutting me, it sure IS my business. There's nothing wrong with workers banding together to achieve improvements in working conditions, pay and benefits, either.

Tell me, oh great one, what does the NLRB have to do with this discussion? You haven't the slightest clue about collective bargaining at an airline, do you?

Which airline agreed to their Collective Bargaining Agreement under duress? Who was forced to sign?

For the same reason you might have to wear a uniform and show up at a certain time and place -- they are conditions of employment. If you don't like the conditions, don't accept the employment.

Ever hear of railroads, Martin? Did you know that interstate commerce is conducted along railroads? Did you know that labor unrest amongst railroad employees could have a deleterious effect on interstate? Did you know that for that reason, while CBAs under the National Labor Relations Act have expiration dates, CBAs under the Railway Labor Act do not?

Silly me, of course you didn't. More on that later.

And one doesn't have to read many of your posts to recognize you're an idiot. I don't mean that as an insult; it's just an observation. I think those are allowed on APC. In fact, I'm pretty sure they're allowed, because you're been making a lot of observations about stuff about which you haven't a whit of knowledge or understanding.

I'd like to think if I were to find myself digging a hole, and I was getting deeper with each shovelful, I would have the sense to stop digging. In this case, I'm inclined to offer Martin a bigger shovel.
