Oh.. I'm confused.. Can you point me toward the open forum part of APC? I must be stuck in the "don't speak unless down spoken to" partition.

Its under “guys that brag, undermine the NC, think they are part of the club” section.

There are plenty of guys undermining the union in this thread. Not just entertaining trial balloons..

Let's do a little unscientific poll: Are you OK with having an MEC chairman that is not actually an operating/qualified Delta pilot? Were you OK with having a National chairman that was not a working/qualified airline pilot? (DePete)

If the answer to either of those questions is yes, would you be OK with farming out the entirety of our union leadership to someone like the Teamsters?

How about we knock this crap off until we have a contract. It’s a distraction we don’t need!

How is expressing opinions on a public web forum 'undermining' anything?

How about you scroll on by if you don't like it? It's important 'crap'.

If you can't see how publicly attacking your union doesn't undermine our efforts at the table....

Explain it to me like I'm five years old then.... But I honestly had no idea a bunch of 'anonymous' opinions carried so much weight at negotiations. There are probably... what... 30 regular posters here and that gets translated into 14,000 opinions? I personally find it hard to believe this is all that fragile.

I agree with you Fangs, but he’s not wrong.
