I give Capt Sanders all the credit he deserves for FX705! He was a hero for that. But I will also give Col Sanders credit for helping undermine the NC and FPA back in '98 and his actions, with a those of few others, drirectly led to Black Thursday! Just because he did a great job with FX705, doesn't give him a pass and carte blanche on everything else!

As far as doing my part - I've been a FPA/ALPA accident investigator since Oct '96 and had the "privilege" of crawling through and around the wreckage of 2 MD-11 hull losses (a wk in EWR and a wk SFS) - giving countless hours, days and weeks of my free time, never once taking trip pay loss! My conscience is clear!

"I second the motion that you are an idiot."

If you are truly a retiree you must be entering your second childhood with such small minded name calling. The wink at the end of his post meant he was making a joke. Even FH would understand that. I thought name calling was supposed to be against the TOS here. For the record, though MD11F8Dog is many things, an idiot he is not.

Uh....but you just called him an idiot because you don't agree with his "political" thoughts vis-a-vis DS's attempts to undermine our union efforts in 98. So...if calling someone an idiot is not belittling them, then I would like to compliment you by quoting Napoleon Dynamite "Idiot"!

Touche!! I'll use more discretion in the future. DS was a friend long before being a non-member. I never appreciated paying for any NM's benefits and personally feel his contributions to the likes of Black Thursday, etc. have been exaggerated.

Regardless, Where does he, a non paying nonmember, get off having the audacity to walk into the union offices and make demands!! While I appreciate you sticking up for your friends, from my seat, personally, I see things differently!

Peace!
