Headquarters in DFW area is bad. The shear number of former APA officials now working on the companies behalf is not good. I’d gladly pay higher dues to get the jerks out. DC is a bully. He hasn’t flown the narrow bodies since the 1980’s. EF I think is on reserve A320 PHX. To each his own but I want to stir it up a bit.

This type of thinking by the ancestral inbreeds at APA is why they are the laughing stock of the industry.

I see you clearly ignored every other aspect of my reply to advance some odd agenda you have? Vote however. As you should. Just find it odd as someone so close to the bottom you would support Carey. Live and learn however. Hamels comments alone on scope would worry me being so close to the bottom alone with the facts we’ve shrunk fleet count and lowered head count since the merger.

Just vote and quit acting like you have all the answers (Groupthink). This isn't CnR.

At DL/UAL I’d be making 15-20k more per year.

I am glad you are voting, the participation rate at this company in voting is way worse than it was at my previous 121 ACMI carrier. Based on your argument you should be listening to the BOD members because they have way more union and 121 time than you do so why dont you listen to them more?

Sorry you dont like my opinion on the election. I already voted so it is too late.

I love this new buzzword “Groupthink” people are using. I’ve been hearing it used more often lately then ever. I find it funny when a contrasting opinion just says “groupthink” to try and insult a group of people who differ with their opinion, yet they probably have a group of people thinking the same way they are....thus they are in a groupthink too. It completely contradicting and assuming a person who differs with your point of view is not educated or justified in their decision.
I don’t give a crap who you vote for, just vote, but don’t attribute whom someone voted for to groupthink. Many people vote the same way on a decision for different reason, doesn’t make it a cult view. In some cases where they are the majority, especially in election, they win. Sorry but that’s how it goes.
