I don't understand the consternation over AG. Isn't the cutoff date the cutoff? He was a FO when nominations closed during the normal nomination process. He wasn't allowed to run as a captain. Now if pilots don't like having a FO who's making captain pay the solution is simple. Don't vote for him.

I don't see any black helicopters here. (Oh, I guess that's the idea of "black helicopters") :)

He made the cutoff date by moving his conversion date back a month. That's pretty low.

I would not say that. As Slow wanted to point out the C44 nomination meeting was in Sept three years ago. Sept 24th to be exact. This time it was earlier in Sept and the voting window closes a month earlier, but he would have been eligible either way.

And you know this how? I have tried to get conversion dates moved several times. Zero success. What has happened is crew resources changing it for their needs at the last minute.

Do you know this as fact or are you making stuff up?

Where's TAANSTAFL and Nu worried about slime now?:rolleyes:

After a little bit of research, look at the bid award and projected conversion. That was a 6 mo bid award conversion window in march... We are well beyond that now. moved his conversion by at least a month due to "alpa bod."

As acl stated, I was incorrect and his Sept conversion would have slid him in at the last moment.

Thanks, Buzz! I needed a pick me up after the month the White Sox had. :D

Yeah, and your point, besides the one on your head, is?

He was scheduled for conversion in October, moved it back to December due to ALPA obligations, waived all his pay guarantees. He still would have been eligible for FO rep. with an October conversion.

If they would have had the nominations in October I'm sure you'd have issues with them gerrymandering to make him a CA rep.

Your sleazy 80, as a moderator, you're a real discredit to this forum. Man up, give him a call and get the real story.

He was never scheduled for a September conversion. Get your facts straight.
