I'm sorry.
So, you can't take any West pilot at face value? After all, they all fly East aircraft (they're all US Airways aircraft now...not East or West) and pay USAPA dues. As far as I know, none of them consider themselves "East pilots."

No, I am asking that you acknowledge (or be aware) that USAPA advocates a UAL style integration.

This awareness should bring understanding that USAPA is not pursuing DOH integration.

I go to great length to remain objective, and avoid absolute statements. Hence, my overuse of words like "may," and "may not."

Relentless quinquagenarian postings do create a void, so I do oppose much of your views for the sake of this community. ie. Where would Fox be without CNN or visa versa? Come to think of it. Fox and CNN ratings are tanking compared to alternative media outlets, which is why we see newAA new hires turning to Facebook groups. Individuals there post with integrity, which is sucking activity away from the AAL sub-forum.

Opposition fuels debate, which to me seems a healthy opportunity to explore ideas. But your overreaching verbosity makes it a balancing act at times. ...sorta like launching a rocket, watching it soar, and then walking away before it falls back to earth.

That being said, I loath both CNN and Fox, better to follow drudgereport.com.

Sure I can. I can take many East pilots at face value, but not all of them. If a West guy gets on this forum and claims not to be a West guy, then yea it would be tough for me to give him credibility.

Why are you getting so worked up.............isn't this just for "entertainment" anyway ?

Could you please provide specific reference to that ? Once that is complete and USAPA is officially stating they will be disregarding their Constitutionally based DOH integration methodology, I'll acknowledge that. Upon completion of this, could you explain exactly what about the "UAL style Integration" USAPA wishes to incorporate ?

Interesting display of verbosity yourself here. It looks like you swallowed a dictionary and washed it down with a thesaurus. Anyway, we're just entertaining ourselves, right ? You have to admit, for one little AA guy, I do pretty good considering the gang of Usapians here that routinely like to take me to the woodshed (and anyone else that questions their view of reality). At least any given West guy has a back-up or two, but I'm all by my little lonesome and I think I bring up a lot of valid perceptions and issues that no one else is willing to raise..........all for the sake of entertainment, of course.

Ouch.......that hurt.

Then again, who could take the peckings of a maroon Usapian tortoise seriously ?

Nothing like free entertainment, eh ?

This is the oral mantra of the US Airways merger committee, Officers, and BPR members.

Meet any of them in person, and ask. I submit my testimony to you in the meantime as a substitute.

We get other specificity on SLI until the court recorders start releasing their records.

That's what I thought.....another unsubstantiated second hand claim from a source well known to have their fingers crossed behind their backs.

Your "testimony" ?

You've simply GOT to be kidding. LOL !........OK, good one. You almost had me on this. You a funny Joe.

Uh, thanks. I think I'll wait for both the bold and fine print.

You respond to every post, most assuredly as a metronome ticks after every tock. And persistence is a strength among those striving to be taken seriously.. Seriously. Really.
