It's starting to sound like you'd rather no one take FPL - so by that you mean not have volunteers able to dedicate the time necessary to put out the brush fires that 11000 pilots generate. So - are you saying that we'd be better off with no union?
When you consider that it takes approximately 60-70 pilots to work a full month for each full pay flight loss guy, it's kinda asinine to worry about the people that make sure the phones get answered when you get into trouble.
Standing by for someone to trump my assumption in 3...2...

Volunteering for a job with pay in the Air Force is somehow different than dropping a trip to perform work for you? What few 92 hour names on that list aren't out of our dues anyway. My taxes did pay for your time at the Air Force though. I also don't see the names you posted about earlier? I'm up for a good DALPA bashing any day of the week but we finally got our DTW resolution to post FPL and you go bashing guys straight away. ***

I wasn't clear that I was saying that because I pay dues that I think the guy works for me, he doesn't, he volunteers for me, he's paid by someone else. He still volunteers. TT in DTW used to answer the phone all the time. I know he didn't get "paid" for the time that we "elected" him to "volunteer" for. Just don't think the term volunteer is that interchangeable when it suits people. I went too far trying to prove a point there with the taxes thing. Union volunteers also pay dues. I shouldn't let an angry deadzoner AF guy get my goat.

Wonder how T & Timbo's houses are today? Final round of the Arnold Palmer Open was suspended today due to severe thunderstorms. Peak gust of 86 mph recorded @ KMCO!
