The problem comes form what happens when the NMB sides with DALPA, yes, there then becomes more mouths to feed at the table. But, this is about restoring the profession for all those poor souls that won't be lucky enough, or well connected enough, to get on with the ever shrinking mainlines, where viable careers are found.

If all you want is bigger contract gains, then I see no point in even having this discussion, because you might as well just sell more contract items, everything is for sale. However, take it from me, someone who has millions of dollars, money isn't everything, you just exchange one set of problems for a new set of problems.

Anybody familiar with the vacation move-up process? I need to move a week next January. I know I can probably slide it on my bid, but I need to get it moved now so I can make some solid plans. I thought I had it figured out and submitted a move-up bid, but haven't seen anything happen.

National is afraid that an SLI would bankrupt it.

Mine is blue also...whose jobs are shrinking? Hiring on the left, hiring on the right. The dark storm clouds were passing over mainline for years now. Starting to lighten up a bit. Are you employable at a mainline? If so, you should be giddy.

Okay, an SLI -Other than a staple - would cause what positive outcome - for ALPA?

Someone who only seems to be concerned about money. Bieber was paid only a small fraction of the money he has brought in, so he is one hell of a fool.
