Replacement For The Line?
 

Hi fellow AA pilots. Since APA has apparently decided not to bring back the Line, deos anyone know of a similar forum where we can resume communications outside APA control? Thanks in advance!

Guess they got tired of people telling them APA sucks.

There were times when there was useful information on The Line, like that Surgery Plus fiasco.

You're using it right now. The Line isn't coming back.

Its already happening. There a several new or returning screen names who admit they are here because they can't use The Line, including retired guys. I won't miss The Line one bit, and I'm sorry to see this place turn into something similar.

Before I started Indoc this September, I recieved a phone call from a retired capt. After exchanging pleasantries, he asked if I had any questions. I said something to the effect of "nope, APC forums had answered all the questions I had" This resulted in the guy going on a tirade saying that I should only get my info from the line and the FB group. Both of which I didn't have access to. Once I gained access to the line I quickly saw it was toxic AF, and I had no use for it... Not sure about the FB group. I now have access to it, but I never check it. Hopefully APC forums don't become as toxic as the line was.

There's also a 'BTL' (below the line) site for new hires (post 2014??).

The facbook groups are just as bad if not worse in some cases.


Also can we confirm the line is gone for good? Haven't seen anything official.

I only ever lurked on CnR/The Line because I don't have FB, but even then it was unbearable most days. At least the one stopgap here won't be the cries of "but it's a UNION HALL! I should be able to post anything I want!"

it's not gone for good. It's coming back according to my reps. I do think it needs a bit more moderating, but we will see.

They need to ban the retired pilots from posting there. They bring nothing to the discussion, they don't even pay dues.
