I know my posts tend to be over the top, and I do apologize if I go too far or engage in personal attacks. Having said that, it is my goal to rock the boat and press the debate.

ALPA's not perfect, no organization is, but the vitriol that is spewed on this web board by some is not productive, particularly when the guys launching the attacks aren't willing to do the work themselves. Rant over.
The assertion that those who don't work for ALPA are "sitting on the sidelines" is a fallacy. We're all suited up in this game. None of us are on the sidelines.

I'm not defending anyone, just pointing out that topics being discussed in a semi-anonymous and accessible setting are valuable to our profession.
If you don't like what you see on the scope, turn it off.

But you can tell what they want is min number of pilots needed to cover the summer schedule if the pilots fly to the FAA max.

I think you all underestimate the audience here on APC. This thread is viewed by many Delta pilots. Many, many lurkers, including myself most of the time. I don't post often, but do like to see the comments and gauge the Delta pilot sentiment towards this or that topic of the day. I think APC has its place in influencing opinions of our group. If it wasn't for Lumberg the TA would have been shot down! Guy was selling it!
Would like to hear more from Carl...happy to see him back. FTB is an APC rock star! Guy should be on the payroll!
