Yup. Just saw it myself.

 

lol, that goes on in nearly EVERY busy forum. The nut jobs that post on The Line are not unique in that way.

The big difference is that even though the forum has zero anonymity, these guys still go at it toe to toe and don’t hold back at all. They own it all. Proudly.

 

You'd think they would've been using Twitter/X to post

Allied Pilots (@AlliedPilots) / X (twitter.com)

but nothing

My regional used it a decade ago for direct pilot comms

 

Yeah, for sure, just when it comes to our airline/jobs/profession, I'd rather not have that dirty laundry out there

 

I think that's the best argument for maintaining the APA forum, unfortunately. Just imagine if those members figured out how to make a user account here, where they're "anonymous".

 

At least here the mods have some balls and actually moderate content that violates forum rules. The Line makes APC look tame by comparison.

 

I roll through The Line a few times a week since I don't have any social media. Some of the content that gets posted on there is positively beyond reproach. The first thing that needs to be done is remove retiree access to the main forums. Some of the worst offenders on there haven't turned a wheel for AA in over a decade and use the forum as their personal trolling playground.

The rumors of what was posted to cause "The Watercooler" to get canned (I never had access) were......not good.

 

literal sociopaths and wingnuts… self righteous ones at that… but I’m just a millennial snowflake, who’s over 40…

 

Are our bank accounts tied to monthly dues for PMA/POD/Life insurance jeopardized now?

Are our DECS password and company access jeopardized?

Who did APA contract out cyber security to and were they properly vetted?

 

All great questions and receiving zero information from APA what, a week later? I would however expect those to be hashed/encrypted, so you shouldn't worry too much.

I know they are doing their best, but they need to set up some form of aux comm capability.

FWIW I don't use my real phone # associated with the APA or company, and the passwords are also different (my email associated with APA has a different password than the APA password as well). APA does have my address and DOB, which I understand is already out there, but it's one more thing they can leak. There was a scam involving T Mobile phone numbers (stealing their esims) and filing taxes of "rich" pilots to maximize refund dollars some time ago (but post merger). When hired I initially refused to give APA my DOB, eventually they successfully threatened me enough I had to do it.
