This is what I'm talking about man. These types of ridiculous diversionary tactics don't work. You only look like someone with a short attention span. Stay on topic. Focus......focus.

No it's not. It's about the union we pay to represent us. It's about the actions of our union and to what extent they've earned our trust.

I perceive of no war. I only see your actions that are right out of Alinsky's book. Specifically, denigrate and divert when you don't have the truth on your side. If you don't like the comparison, stop earning it.

Calling out those who can't be direct is always a good thing. Whether it does any good or not is immaterial.

…the seventh rule is: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.

Discuss.

Or would you like to start from rule 1 so I can point out how everything you've said about me could be said about yourself?

And do you mind telling me what I'm being dishonest about? It's like you're afraid of a ghost.

Do you have the transcript from negotiations or the actual survey results?

Keep at it! Viva la resistance! The red coats are coming!

Carl,

Welcome back! Although we don't always agree 100% its great to have you back. Like most of the posts on here - even if I don't agree with the poster - I can usually learn something, and am often better off for it.

Didn't you also say to short DAL a couple of weeks ago at 14?

I don't remember dalad saying that. I recall he had concerns about 14 being a high price, but that he already sold all of his some time ago.

Gotcha. Someone mentioned they were shorting in a big way when it hit 14, however. The market does what it wants. Trying to time her is akin to heading out to Vegas (minus the free drinks).
Curious to see how dalads short term option plays out.

Wanna bet?

Point taken though. We will have to work hard to mitigate that threat. Even so, it is much more benign than some of the other potential scenarios out there (VX, JB, etc) where anything resembling relative seniority would severely damage DL pilot career progression.

As a lurker I agree.

Welcome back Carl!

I like to hear both sides to the story. And I'm better off hearing both. So thanks.
