Awe Andy ... I knowed that you know that the only reason it's in ALPA's handbook is because it's in managements handbook and has been used on the pilots in the past. Management had already started their little handbook (much thinner book back then) when ALPA was formed in the '30s. Matter of fact it was the stuff in that thin management handbook back in the day that raised the necessity of forming ALPA.

Anything we do, or any way we respond, is a result of stuff that has come out of that management handbook. That company book has always come first. That's where we learned. That's how it got into an ALPA book.

Scooter wants us to be generous now. I say let's be generous with flattery.

Drag it out, sit on it forever, then tell them to pound sand. Straight out of their book. A little dose of their own. Flattery so to speak.

Y'all have a blessed day.
