I'm glad we got the DC8 S/O legal interpretation on the subject ...

Good try though, it looks very official ...

Not at all, MaydayMark, and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

George, I flew with you when I was an F/O. Except for that grating Boston accent, you were an entirely decent guy. How did you become such a pr1ck?

That has just got to make you feel good huh George, seeing as you've been all about maintaining unity all this time. You were really worried about our unity when you were a non member weren't you?

You only come out from the dark when you think your side has the upper hand, like the cockroach you are.

Yeah, George wasn't too worried about unity when he was calling everybody who disagreed with him on the age 60 issue a scab.

Real class act.

This list of Senators that sent the letter to the FAA encouraging a change to the Age 60 rule:


James M. Inhofe
Johnny Isakson
Mike Enzi
Larry Craig
John Warner
Rick Santorum
Charles Grassley
Wayne Allard
Sam Brownback
Ted Stevens
Conrad Burns
John Ensign

Every one of them a Republican. So ask yourself, how can you be a viable member of a Union and be a Republican? Answer - you can't. Vote your conscience in all things - are you a Republican or a Democrat? Don't waste time in telling me how you support the idiot in the White House or whatever - what are your beliefs about unions and this rule? What party do you support? Do they support you?

Instead of reading more and more of George's drivel (AKA FoxHunter),

we could just....

Of course I am NOT suggesting shutting off discussion.

I am just saying that on the intarweb the loudest and most annoying voice gets more attention than it should. How about we ignore George, and focus on dealing with ALPA on this.

I've talked to my block reps and gotten the same response as everyone else. While I think we will be tilting at windmills regarding the change to Age 60, we might have some traction with the over-60 guys going back to the left seat.

Make yourself known. If you are reading this thread and haven't e-mailed or called your block rep, then DO IT. Call your friends and have them do it. You career will most definitely depend on how this shakes out.
