What if the slope increased .005 degrees?
Remember, we are talking about people that refuse to use their own laptop to complete a one-time training module because the company didn't buy them said laptop. People that would go through the monkey-motion of relaying a complex message to DX via a not so pilot savvy ops agent instead of the much easier (AND SAFER) cell phone call because the company doesn't give them a company phone. BTW, my room doesn't have a tub, and where's my %^$& grab and go?
Well, I'm a little confused. The infighting you speak of didn't come from the petition. We are all pretty happy with the petition. Yes, wording may be a little off, but it got the point across. The fighting came from the people who oppose the petition.
I don't want to sling mud, but it seems yall are afraid of everything. Your afraid that a petition, with no real power, is going to put the NC on a corner. Your afraid that a new lec is going to mess up the power structure(which it is, but that's a good thing). Your afraid the new lec will mess up negotiations(I don't think it will). I personally don't think any of this will happen. Your afraid that a couple of names that are associated with this movement is going to mean that everyone associated is being indoctrinated and turned into mindless minions and that just isn't the case.
We can agree to disagree because we are beating a dead horse. But then again, civil debate is where the magic happens.
