Oh, so you think this is a UPS thread, and us FedEx types have just wandered in? Go back to the first post and read the last sentence. I think we were invited to the conversation.

I said, when I think of Shaggy1970 laughing his ass off -- - that's what the LMAO acronym he used means -- when I think of him doing that, I can't help think of Jack Nicholson's character. That's the picture that comes to mind when I try to envision Shaggy1970 laughing his ass off. Get it? No mustache involved, just Shaggy1970 laughing his ass off for some stupid reason.

Together we WILL get Cargo pilots included, they were in the initial language; it was CAA member lobbying to cut cargo out in the first place.

Let's keep this about working to FIX problems in the profession, not about some individual's feelings about the largest pilots union in the world.

In the interest of unity, just watch you guys don't cave on PBS or cower in the shadow of another "with or without you" letter.

All hail The Tony
