For my entire career, ALPA found one way or another to give me the shaft while telling me that I'd get mine in the end. I believed them. I sucked a mile of ALPA C*7K. I was one of their MOST ardent supporters. Then Todd showed up and jammed a mile of cactus up my a$$ when I finally got to the point where I could "make up for it".

I flew as an ALPA pilot at regionals forever. I finally got hired at UAL when I was 40. I was dead last in my class. That I managed to keep my finances straight and invest in my future and then could afford to buy a GD truck and a few toys have nothing to do with how I voted. I didn't retire early because of ALPA. I retired early because I made it possible through hard effing work and discipline. And because I was so sick of flying with guys like you. Guys who constantly fawned at management's feet while selling the contract out and voting YES for every new version of trash. You've got some real stones there Mike Honcho.

I might add that over 40 odd percent of your fellow pilots agree with me. Airaware, could you point to the doll and show the class where oldmako hurt you?

Nice tie.
