Pi$$ ON an airline pilot day after day, year after year and he still hand out cards, makes touchy feely PA's at the podium, carries defective equip to write it up at the domicile, flies junk, leaves the APU off on a 90 degree day, blabbers about CH9, taxis like Emmerson Fittapaldi to make up time, cuts corners on TRWs to make up time, tip toes around the SOPs to make up time, flies while sick, *****s himself out when sched calls, etc etc etc.

No doubt these heroes will be at home with a cold one on May 3rd, beeotching about ALPA while leaving the heavy lifting to others. Gee, I wonder why contract negotiations are going so slowly? WE"RE THE ON TIME MACHINE, and I have the $66.00 "reward" check to prove it. 45 percent pay cut, but a nice fat check for $66!!! yippeee!
