Some huge machinery is about to crank up. If the vote was 14-5 then there is going to be a battle. It is going to be epic. Expect the return of slowplay and alfaromeo and the others any minute now.


Day 1 of the battle -
I hope I am wrong and they put up the actual contract immediately, but here is what I fear -->


DALPA is going to tell us what the contract says rather than immediately publish it. Beware of tonight's DALPA "summary" of this deal. It will likely be incomplete and possibly misleading. They are going to attempt to frame the debate and define the parameters.
Insist on seeing the contract language.


A "Negotiator's Notepad" is not a contract. It is a propaganda tool. A document published by the administration for the purpose of advocating a particular point of view.


"The language is being finalized and will be released later" is a huge red flag.


I hope I can support this agreement. But I want to read it.
Please DALPA - show us the actual contract.

Are you part of the huge machinery?

The fact the vote is 14-5 tells us nothing except that the same GvR/NvS politics continue.

I hate to speculate on anyone's identity, but I agree that Alfa and Slow feel like they're part of the union. However they have useful information as well. This isn't a "No Voter" club, it's a discussion board. So I expect them here also, but I can judge them the same I judge the DPA guys, with a dose of skepticism. You can tune them out if you like, but this preemptive attack on another poster's possible participation makes you look a little suspect.

Whatever they have to say, refute it if you wish. I'll be all ears.

The iphone is an expensive smart phone.

The otterbox is a hard waterproof shock resistant hard shell to protect expensive phones from people like me.

We can't comment on your post, because it might suggest an age bias that's probably against the TOS on APC. For starters, I don't think we can say "old fart".

Love otter box cases. Built for clumsy people like me.

If you want to know how effective they are, I personally witnessed a child around 2 yrs of age repeatedly chuck his mother's iPhone 4 against the hard floor of the BOS terminal. It continued to play music, and even rang as a call came in. They are good cases.

Yes, we have a TA. And you were awarded NYC 7er A. Didn't they tell you?
