I just want to say...I truly hope that my 19 friends and I are wrong. I wouldn't even be angry about it.

In the meantime...How does 777BOY sound?

When were accepted fares grieved and ruled on by an arbitrator? That's where I see the difference and that seems pretty straight forward to me. You may not see it and that's fine, hence the judgement call and the never ending 4.A.2.B. speculative argument game.

Yeah, great idea. We can see where previous Wilson polling got us.... nowhere. Why spend more dues on a source of information that it seems no one in ALPA leadership pays attention to?

I submit that we bag the polling, lower the dues to the value of the representation that the general membership receives...... 0.10%.

No need for Wilson Center polling. We're going to get a COLA and some junior varsity word smithed changes to 4.a.2.b., work rues and benefits. I'm not even sure we need negotiators for that?

OK ... I'm REALLY tired of kicking the POS TA dead horse so let's talk about how "Pilots Over 60 Are Dangerous.".

PS ... FoxHunter says I'm an age bigot?

Events have proven that the United States First Officer corps, after 20 years in the right seat, has a skill and experience level, combined with mental acuity, eyesight, and physical health to keep a 4 year old out of trouble in the left seat.

Raise the age to 70. Then the FO will be 50, have 18,000 hrs, and could probably keep anyone safe. Hell, raise the age to corpse. Just make sure that the corpse's wife fills the corpse's wallet before shipping it to ops for the trip. We'll need to take a beer stipend from it on the layover.

Actually, you're a Maronian. Descended from an ancient culture of outhouse guards. Known throughout the universe for their unique ability to smell like scat at any given time. Just some important trivia for you. You're welcome. BTW, was that your Chivas I finished?
