Thank you. Honestly, I doubted CPZ had taken the same test. I presumed there just wasn't much likelihood that both hiring departments used the same process. My doubt was in regard to the claim of having had the same, or a highly equivalent interview. Said doubt should not be inferred by some to mean "the" Delta interview is the most rigorous known to aviation professionals.

 

Slow down and listen to me, man! Triple Gold Bond will change your LIFE!!!

 

someone said it best, summer was rained out in Atlanta.

 

My "incompetent, greedy, and lazy" remark was directed towards ALPA, not the company. The company's job is to try to screw us. ALPA's job is to prevent it from happening. One is succeeding. The other is boarding the failboat.

good day,

Crew planning is getting a bit more desperate in their attempts to fund the narrowbody categories.

 

Yeah you ever talk to those poor people? You get the impression this is what's going on on the other side of the phone:

 

Glee was originally funny, my wife liked it. I thought it was hilarious the cheerleaders were in their cheerleading outfits no matter what they were doing. They could be doing yard work and would still be in cheerleading outfits. Even when in a hot tub.

Then the show got stupid and then jumped the shark and flew off the cliff into the deep end. And that was a few years ago.

But at least one of their hot cheerleaders showed good taste

 

I hate to hear that. Because they're each among my favorite posters.
But between you and me, I bet whichever one ignores me secretly sneaks a peek.

 

Obviously it's not official but the poster Beer posted this elsewhere and I thought it was interesting: http://mashable.com/2013/07/14/flight-214-animation/

 

Slow,

What happened to you? Necroposting for dishonest spin?

My comment related to "Officers" in your administration who told us that some civilian ALPA members had FAILED to respect he chain of command in our union. You know my comment had nothing to do with the well qualified pool of candidates which come from our armed services.

You may think you are so smart that no need exists for democratic governance in ALPA and I'll grant, you are a smart man. But at the end of the day ALPA needs the support of it's members. Having nearly 50% of your pilots send in cards requesting a representational vote while your Admin achieved an industry leading contract with scope improvements is a commentary you should heed. Instead you waste your efforts trying to personalize your frustrations by targeting reformists who support our union.

You are a smart guy. Eventually you'll step outside the echo chamber and get a wind check.

As the Pinnacle debacle is understood by express pilots as the cause of their concessions it will be very difficult for the leadership who authorized that bargaining to remain in power.

ALPA needs a strong leader, as it has, to get through a major merger and the other issues we face as a profession. No need to waste ammo firing inside the circle.

My guess based on comments by line pilots is that DPA has greater support is among those with a military background than civilian. Civilians are more reform minded and desire a more participatory, responsive, association (moves our both our former and current Admin have been moving in). Either way it boils down to members who desire change, even in good times.

I will yield the floor to you to explain your targeting solution. Alienate enough of our union's supporters and where does that take us .... ? Now you're trying to involve them in your fight against ALPA supporters before they are even on our property? What does that achieve?
