Well, I did attend public schools.
Perhaps if you could write in coherent English, I might be able to decipher your paragraph long run-on sentence. It's a bit hard to follow.
See what I mean? What list is easily found on the IPA website? The "scab list" that you are alluding to, or a RDG/JS/VLOA award list? These are two different things. Your paragraph/sentence is not clear.

So...there is no scab list. The only "list" on the IPA website is the RDG/VLOA/JS award list, correct? If that's what you wanted to say, then why didn't you just say it?

If I shot the messenger, then you have my sincere apology. In your narrative, you sounded like you were one of the active participants in the discussion at hand.
You stated that you were in the top 500 of the seniority list; did you say anything to your peers to quell their fears about this ridiculous scab list rumor? If not, why not?

Just remember that those who have contributed to MOU2 have two weeks to just as easily go to the IPA webiste and withdraw those contributions. If it wasn't for those who are grateful for those contributions, I'd go yank my contribution out based on your attitude alone. Just keep stirring the pot and see how many people are glad to see you kicked to the curb!
You know DT, UPS isn't my first rodeo. This is my third airline after a military career, and I've been furloughed from a major legacy airline already for almost a 3 year stint. I've made my preparations, and I'm ready to be furloughed again. I don't have any debt, don't own any airplanes, boats, mistresses, or have season tickets at Yankee Stadium. I have money in the bank, and my investments are in order. I don't want or need any help from you personally, or from the IPA. I'm only concerned about my fellow pilots in the bottom 300 that aren't in the same financial position that I am.
I wonder how you'd feel if you were in this group with a family to feed, and a full third of the IPA membership didn't cough up a red penny for the MOU. Think about it.
