I like the line from The Office when Pam watched Angela give Dwight a key to her home and Phyllis gets inundated with flowers from her husband, Vance, Vance Refrigeration. She turns to her loser fiance Roy:

Pam: What am I getting for Valentines Day?

Roy: Baby, I'm going to give you the best sex of your life.



And she marries Jim.



So before you have to fill out a marriage ASAP, let's run through the "I FORGOT IT'S VALENTINES DAY" QRH again...

Step 1: Are you NewK?
If YES, END CHECKLIST
If NO, go to step 2
Step 2. DON'T SAY "I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE BEST SEX OF YOUR LIFE."
Continue to Step 3

Take a look (CAUTION: IT MAY MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL!)
Union Facts: Air Line Pilots Leaders, Employees, and Salaries
That list of salaries doesn't even scratch the surface.
There are dozens of other lawyers who work for Cohen, Weiss and Simon and a handful of other "outside" firms that are pulling down six figures doing ALPA work.

Our dues dollars support a massive boondoggle up there in Washington.

ALPA National collected and spent $177.4 million last year.

Hey!

They have to coordinate the office and order office supplies from staples. Not just anyone can do that job.

You might want to check your "facts".

Last year CWS had about 32 total lawyers. ALPA wasn't even 1/3 of their business.

Of course, you advocated supporting the law firm that had been fired by USAPA, SWAPA, AMFA and a few others...

Good call on your part. I'm long the VIX 14/16 call spread, so barring a big jump up by Friday it will be a losing trade.

I don't contribute much since I don't have a dog in this fight (hopefully one day) but follow it daily. I really like Carl's perspective. Seems like he and I see a lot of things the same way.

Stick around Carl...... A lot of folks like your input here!
