What happens next doesn't just depend on your union reps...it depends on all of us.
Thanks Albie for pointing out why we should avoid bidding
phenom aircraft/domiciles until our union has negotiated rates and terms.

Comment: John Prater has taken the advice of the FedEx MEC chairman (who told him over and over and over and over and over) to NOT endorse a political candidate this year. I back McCain, yet with him bashing unions in his acceptance speech you can only imagine the pressure the AFL-CIO put on ALPA to publically endorse Obama............
I guess I miss the significance of this as related to the point of the thread. I was under the impression political discussion was
ver boden on APC but I'm sure an APC moderator would have said something by now if this was improper forum material.
Continue as you were...
