I know it's been covered before but can't find it on the search. I've never used either one before so any guidance would be appreciated. Also, the contract (sec 23.I) is kinda confusing me.

The day I'm trying to drop is the last day of the month of October. Thanks for the help.

Ditto for the throngs of incompetent Keynesian "economists", some of them peace prize winners, that don't know the basics of supply and demand or even how money works. And our march towards being over schooled and under educated continues.

And once again, a gutter trash company is hired yet excellent results are expected.

Someone probably got a bonus for their brave, innovative cost control measures even though all they did was sign the lowest bidder which a minimum wage intern could have done.

Brilliant.


Plus you gotta love that before the ink even dried in the TA the company inked deals with 37 seat and under props which don't count towards the limits and weren't in any of the DCI numbers being advertised. "They don't even want those, they just got rid of the Saabs, amirite?"

I might find a Obama or Mitt sticker offensive as well. Slippery slope there.

I think the bigger issue is a ALPA volunteer kicking a JS'er off a ALPA negotiated benefit and the faithful defending it. The JS is the Captains prerogative, but he is expected to use good judgement and discretion. This guy did not IMO. I would have welcomed him and used the opportunity to persuade him why ALPA is the better alternative, sort of like we do with the non-union guys. The Captain gets an F in headwork.
