Ahh, the Sex Pistols. My first real CD put out by our friend Sir Richard at Virgin Records. Retired all my vinyl shortly thereafter.



Canada has less population than California. Even with so few they seem to screw up socialized medicine. Canadian nurses are recruited by U.S. medical facilities for higher paying contract work which soon leads to full employment and a green card/permanent resident status. No one up there really has anything great to say about the system. You wait months or years for surgery. If you really want it now many head south across the border. There are even "medical vacation packages" to doctors in Mexico!! Good luck to us all. We're gonna be stuck with a huge $hit sandwich.

It would all work if SWA had not screwed it up!

No kidding, they don't look nearly frightened enough to see us flying nearby!

I'm thinking they put up the Miley Twerk on the Jumbotron...

Great Post hitimefurl!

Good analysis of DPA. When I read through their periodicals and planned operating expenses, I got the impression that most of the information was based on assumptions. Furthermore, majority of TC's publications seemed emotionally-based and designed to scare pilots in staying with ALPA. Ironic that DPA officers are so keen on chastising DALPA compensation packages, yet they seem to be quite generous to themselves with our dues.

I'd love to be able to get behind an in house union, but until people like TC step down no way can I back the DPA.

The writing is on the wall...the goal, in their own words:



At some point, we will be dumped into the coming government healthcare system. Just as our pensions, our union leadership will support it; we will get some "incentives" negotiated in and told how good it is for us (while being told there is no other option).
