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."

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?

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. :)

Hey we vote for TA that requires less pilots so now they say no hiring. Why would anybody be surprised?
