No kidding. I'm not opposed or in favor of an idea like that, it would depend on the reasons.

I am not sure how a representational election versus a general election is better or worse for the membership. I'm all for improving how the union functions, but I'm not in favor of change just for the sake of change.


I do know that my rep is much better informed on the greater issues that are facing the piloting profession, who out there has been doing yeoman's work to improve the union, and also who has the best leadership and management skills to run an organization this size in the most effective manner.

If you are compiling a list, don't forget the hop on hop off busses.

From memory, one is red one is yellow. One of them doesn't have an expiration on their tickets (the yellow one if memory serves) IOW, cheap pilot trick, if you buy a ticket, it is for life.

They take you everywhere you'd want to go in Manhattan.

They both have ticket kiosks or ticket sellers at in times square right where the place is that sells all the left over broadway show tickets/near the m&m's store.

I would like to see term limits on all union positions and all elected by the membership. No exceptions.

76drvr....please find something else to do when you are bored. The majority of us view this page for the latest and greatest at Delta, not to regurgitate tired arguments that happened months ago.

On another note...I don't plan to miss one televised War Eagle tiger game this year. They are bringing joy to my heart!

I'd have to float a loan for that.....

If you find him tiresome, ignore him.

I do agree on term limits, and more importantly, I'd like contractual language barring union officers from crossing to a Company function other than LCP or instructor, for some lengthy period, i.e. 5 years. And vice-versa.

I'm trying to find the substance of the didcussion, to follow, but this is pretty much drowning into personality issues, and not too issue-based.

Pick your own leaders? Well our state and federal reps are elected by the people. Is that not good enough for you? Or you could go the USSR route.
