Talk of union actions on a public forum is like fixing dinner and taking a dump in the same sink. Good Luck! And the sanctimonious pep talk vs. habitual shirker defenses degrades the common purpose of thiis forum. I'm about done with this thread. It should be closed.
While I agree that not all of our dirty laundry should be aired on this site, I do think the greater good is certainly served by those of us who post, opine and lurk here. I don't think it should be closed at all, in fact I encourage all of the guys I fly with to come here and post. As ACL as attested, a lot of us have become friends on this site. I would argue also that a lot of the original ill will of this historic merger was calmed by this thread in particular. I know I have come to understand the fNWA position much more clearly thanks to the buds who post here. I would hope that they would have gained something as well from us fDAL dudes.
If you're not approving of what you read here, move on. I don't think you'll be missed.
