I guess now you cannot get written up for doing a gate agents job and making a PA in the gate house

well you're missing out on some bad ideas.

I'm on firefox too though. I guess I don't block ads. But then if I did I'd end up missing the ads.

It's good for the overall confidence to know young single women and especially Asian women want me... tonight.

It means what it says. Here's an example to better understand the question:

If the UAW follows the same policy as DALPA does (i.e. supporting unions that have a higher degree of an organized work force), and thus avoids Delta when it can fly American instead, does our union support that action? Based on its policy of supporting another labor union though its policy of supporting the hotels that are organized, one would see the consistency in such support. It would be dumb, but it would be consistent.

*I do not know how ALPA would answer that, but my take is:

AMR is unionized and isn't APA affiliated with AFL-CIO like ALPA? If not they are unionized and many of their other labor groups are AFL-CIO affiliated. The support as I take it from ALPA is along the broader context of AFL-CIO. That was the takeaway I had when I discussed the reasoning on the Westin Diplomat with a NYC Rep a few weeks ago.

Well, Westin hotel workers aren't affiliated with AFL-CIO either.

for a guy who supposedly has decades left at the company, you are remarkably short-sighted. It's not just about the PA issue, although that is problematic in and of itself.

If you don't understand the long-term ramifications of the company unilaterally imposing non-contractual obligations upon us with nary a peep from "our" union, there's nothing I can do to help you.

Strategy. It's not just for executives. johnso29 and DALPA, I suggest you look into it.
