Boomer is probably the funniest guy around.

The dude built a bridge between Delta pilots and Comair pilots... not an easy feet.

He can even make Mckayla smile. Quite the feat.

Sure that's Boomer? Dude looks a bit like Carl!

Notice the eye to eye contact?

Definitely not an APCer.

btw, from 3 hours ago:

McKayla Maroney's parents hire security guards
8:03 PM, August 22, 2012

McKayla is not impressed. And neither are here parents, apparently.

McKayla Maroney went from an unknown 16-year old to an Olympic gold medalist practically overnight, and her parents are making sure their daughter is protected now that she's an Internet sensation and appearing on popular talk shows.

"We have hired specialist security guards to make sure McKayla is never on her own," Maroney's mom, Erin, told the Daily Mail. "We don't want another Shawn Johnson situation to happen."

Air Force does not do much for her either...

Can't understand why these regional guys are tired of outsourcing. I mean it has been great for their careers and alll.

Everyone is frustrated we get it...or did get it...long before you guys went past personal attacks to personal threats to someones career.

Can't imagine the response from that.

I'm glad you enjoy it over there. Why don't you stay. You insulted 2/3 of the pilot group at Delta, and I know the keyboard warriors here love your opinion. Really tough guys. But you won't spout off like that when you cross over.

This board has turned into bullying, so much so that anyone that disagrees can't even state his opinion. Good for you guys. Keep making up numbers and yelling into your echo chamber, I'm sure it makes you feel better. You know everything, and all the other highly educated, professional pilots don't know anything. You have all the answers and would do it better.

Junglebus. I hope you find a job at another airline, I want to work with people who want to be happy here.

What the H? This post doesn't even make sense... this is EXACTLY what I was thinking but apparently reversed, this board is bullying a dude who merely stated what 38% of Delta pilots voted-- DELTA pilots!-- and yet here you are telling him to go get hired somewhere else because he has an opinion? I'm getting so sick of folks saying "if you don't like it, leave", "If you don't like it go somewhere else, Delta doesn't need you..." ... YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. This attitude of "no dissenting opinion" and no striving for improvement in our work conditions or expressing hopes for better or dissatisfaction with status quo, is just heinous to me.

I'm sorry, it's NOT your airline, you're a blue collar worker just like I am here... and if YOU don't like other people expressing opinions that aren't all 100% inline with anti-union rhetoric, then I think YOU should leave. We don't need your type in the airline or profession. (see how incredibly silly that sounds and how insulting it is?) You have no more right to decide what is "Delta" and acceptable thought than JungleBus does. Holy crap, "if you don't like it get hired somewhere else or leave"... what are you, in Kindergarten?

And you wonder why management doesn't like flows...:rolleyes:

Yeah an "entitlement" that ALPA negotiated. It is a dang shame when someone ask you to bargain in good faith and to the actually keep your promises. ALPA not happy with that 76 seat experiment...wonder what they will say about this one 3 years from now.

I think it's extremely happy with the "76 seat" experiment. They have always pushed for more and more of them, and the pilots complied. Why aren't they happy?

Hey, we're talking 4, 8, 3, 3 for 70 more jumbo RJs and work rule concessions. It was a GREAT deal! It's even better that they won't be following through with the hiring this fall or winter promise. :)
