Since you have never answered an intelligent question posed to you (see other posts you have ignored), are you adhering to ALPA's "no buy" list 100%? Are you driving only USA made vehicles? Are you ensuring every piece of clothing you put on has the Made in the USA label attached? Are you computing on a MAC or maybe a Dell? Hope it's not a Toshiba, or Sony. Check those shoes....Where's that TV from? Buying Nike or the like shoes from sweat shops in Asia? And I hope you believe that all startups, Apple, Nike, Casio should have been put out in the cold because legacies like IBM, Converse, Timex would have been hurt. And didn't FedEx do damage to those good union employees at USPS with its new inovation of delivering packages overnight with jet aircraft? I am in no way antiunion, just anti Koolaide drinkers such as yourself that can't see beyond their selfish paycheck, that somebody might just might come up with an innovative different idea, and needs the flexability to make it work.

Since you ignored questions about Eastern's downfall, Jack Bavis, Crawlbacks, ALPA allowing the CAL pilots back into the fold, FedEx's in and out of ALPA, UPS undercutting FedEX in the beginning, the fact that Alaska pay a substandard wage to it's first year pilots, that your payrates are not at the top.....I guess I can go on and on. Like I said before, you are doing as much damage for "your" cause with your hatred, vitriol and vile comments than all the ALPA good will or whatever. Having been on National committees, MEC rep, local committees in the mid 80s, I saw first hand what happened to the industry, as you may have also. It was not pretty watching pilots from PanAm, Braniff, Eastern, AirAtlanta, Ozark etc. put their faith and hope into the union that in the end was powerless to do anything to save their careers. Good for you for landing at a semiquality airline.

Because of pilots like you, is why many are steering clear of the union label. Oh and how did that union thing work out for retirees at Delta when the union took a $600 million payoff to terminate the pension of thousands of retired Delta pilots that built not just the airline but the industry. How did that union thing work out for the United and USAir retirees? Did you promote and picket ALPA HQ when they were signing off on B scale contracts?

And you and Lame bourne are dumping on guys that have been BURNED by ALPA and for not drinking that Koolaide. Working at a place where unions are banned and outlawed, I would have to say, I miss the protection of the union, but other than that, I am no better or worse here than at that Legacy that had the sweet union that turned it's back on its retirees. Will cost me way more for the rest of my life than I could have ever imagined. Any of these questions you and Lame bourne want to honestly answer, without the cute quips and quotes, I'll be happy to entertain.
