Your choice of words is interesting, That you would use the word “popular” with regard to my individual thought versus your individual thought… Your opinion is your opinion, and my opinion is my opinion. There is no “popularity” involved.

I do notice a theme, running through the threads on here, and it seems like only the angry people post anymore, and it has to do with what other people’s opinion is of our contract… What other airlines will think about our airline’s contract. To me the over-riding concern about what other people think is disproportionate, and I believe there’s a lot of envy involved.

i’m beginning to believe that for some of you the anger stems from the fact that you were confusing your market worth and what’s being negotiated for you, and your self-worth. Your worth as an individual has nothing to do with whatever contract that has been negotiated or company you work for.

I think I I think I understand the regional comment now. You see, there were three “Pats” that could’ve been talked about when referred to as “that sellout Pat’. PO, (block rep) PM ( Negotating Committee), and PD (Company)….

Each of these three have been spoken of in very antisocial terms. Quite frankly, there’s been language used that wouldn’t be used in a face-to-face conversation. I was under the impression that this time when somebody said “that sellout Pat” he was referring to PM, obviously your beef Has to be with our company PD, who made mention about the offer from whatever the airline was to Fedex pilots.

if I was a regional guy, at least I’d be going back from once I came “if I had a military background, then I really might be insulted because I might think that beneath me… In any case I wasn’t insulted at all and neither should you be… Plenty of undesirable things are suggested all the time there’s no need to get wound up about it and call people names.

It seems like some people see others “act out” on a board like this and display really antisocial behavior… Like Anthrax, for example…. it’s like the socially equivalent of throwing a rock through a window. Nothing happens to him so other people decide it’s OK to throw a rock through a window. These are people that normally wouldn’t throw rocks through windows… Until it becomes the norm.

i’m asking you to consider toning down your language and your vitriol it doesn’t reflect well on you or anyone for that matter.
