Record airline profits and pilot contracts under 'King Obama'. Best in your career. Enjoy it while it lasts. These R's are busy trying to do the Corporation's dirty work. 1500 hour rule changes, Right to Work laws, single pilot studies. You won't see a D's name on these amendments/bills. That's just the way it is. Always has been.

BTW, didn't Obama hand over the keys last January with a 4% unemployment rate and a 200% Dow Jones run up from it's March 2009 low? Facts are a *****

Tell that to the Alaska, Spirit, and now JetBlueballs pilots who are or will be enjoying the best contract they’ve ever had. Not to mention our upcoming contract, which will be under a Republican. Of course everyone ignores how Obama and Puchala shoved scope relaxations down our throats, by far hurting our careers more than anything.

I hope all you political pontificators are putting much energy into the ALPA PAC as you do here.

Of course. Every time. Just tired of trying to undo Republican lawmaker's actions... time and time again. Don't you ex-mil types ever catch on?

Dude,
both sides of the isle suck el mucho grande, in their own way.
to Paint one side w a broad brush just invites discontent and division.
If you feel so vehemently against one side I suggest you
Push ALPA to “educate” these so called repubs to see the light that we arnt just another union, that ALPA actually enhances safety, and instead try to make a difference.
Have a great day!

Those contracts rode the coattails of Delta and United more than anything else. Every single relaxation of scope was voted in by a majority of pilots, the only one to blame is the guy in the mirror.

Do you think that you, as a union pilot, are better off with Republicans?
The Republican Tax Cut have increased our total tax load. For example, 27% of the Corporate Tax cut went to non-US stockholders, so we here in the US have to make up for those lost taxes.
The deficit is now even more out of control, requiring higher taxes on the Middle Class.
Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat.

If you want more pay, as a union pilot, making unions stronger is the key.
