This is getting good. What I would like to see is our union lawyer whom we pay somewhere north of 300k/year to start making some comments on the B&G with legal background as substantiation for a lot of the questions that myself and others have. Lots of legal speculation IRT current issues. I would like to see and hear more of Trent's opinion and legal renderings.

If Trent comments on the B&G on these topics he should be fired. These are legal issues for the appropriate , court filings, etc. Not on this forum or the B&G.
It would be just as stupid as Thrush claiming he had the cards for our Lawyer to comment.
Just so you know, 300k a year is peanuts for a good lawyer.

And hopefully you won't ever "suck off the Mutual Aid teat" either. I would expect that you would decline the payments seeing that apparently you think that it's bogus to receive Mutual Aid.

Section Eight

Thats the one I was waiting for.

I love this, just because someone accepted something that 70% of the membership voted on, they can't question or speak ill of a president that less than 35% voted for? Now that's akin to some tactics that my previous employer would embellish.

Kinda sounds like a bad gangster movie, you took money from us so we'll punish you AND your family. Thuggery at it's best.

Back to the OP's original thoughts, many (not all IMHO) of those items quoted by 3S are factual, don't believe them? Call a furloughed pilot and ask what "opinions" he or she has been told over the last year, they will sound very similar to what was written here by the OP.

A recall would fracture the group even more in my estimation, and he wont step aside.

The fact is that we were probably as close to accretion as we have ever been. Now we can sit back and listen to the gorilla whine and complain that the NPRM will kill its business, and it will get passed in a way that helps them, not us.

Then try proving class and craft to the NMB over something that has been in place for 22 years, good luck with that. They won't even release AA F/A's you think they are going to side with the IPA on this? Again, keep dreaming.

The fight to get the FQS and end this airline within an airline is LOST.

Tactics like Fire, Aim, Ready lost it.

Nothing has been filed in court yet that we know of. So what would Trent be commenting on that is of a confidential nature? Thrush was probably told he did have the cards to go ahead with filing. And then after the fact, it was found to be otherwise. 300k/year used to be peanuts for a good lawyer. Different economy today.

Thrush ran with this by himself and didn't speak to anyone before his announcement . Thrush is the one who published it and he was the one who had access to the cards. He blindsided everyone else with his one man show.
300k is still peanuts for a good lawyer.

Um, excuse me but if by chance you didn't notice, he/she was talking about me sucking off the Mutual Aid teat. I don't even know what the f he/she is talking about anyway because 1. how does he/she know why I am or am not working and what benefits I am getting. 2. I might not even be signed up for Mutual Aid and 3. how the f does he/she know why I may be out of work. If I am getting MA, he/she is implying that I am faking an illness (or that everyone getting MA is faking) to get MA. That is the impression I am getting. In which case, God forbid Mr. OP would ever lose their medical because I would expect that the OP would never accept a MA payment since apparently you are sucking off the Mutual Aid teat if you take benefits from something you paid into.

I voted to pay for furloughee's insurance WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A THOUGHT OTHERWISE so I was simply asking the dude in the same manner he/she asked me. So whatever guy.

I really don't give a flying frog's fat a$$ what the guy says but if he/she feels that strongly about it and wants some credibility, he/she should post it on the B&G and if they don't, well noone is going to listen.

Take a breath Freight puppy....it will be OK.

Buck92

yeah, flipping your wig then saying you don't care is kinda mutually exclusive. flying frogs fat @ss is a phrase I generally try to work into my Navy fitreps and see if it makes it past the Admin proofreaders!

Freightpuppy

I'm totally fine, thanks!
