Love it! Someone else must have read it and decided to reduce tuition loan repayments. Is it an election year again?:rolleyes:

At that ATL PUB tonight. Donatelli speaks like a true blue collar union guy. Nothing much new said, but I'll give him time. That being said, I'm disappointed in our lack of PAC contributions. For our total payroll its embarrassing. All they are asking for is $5 per pay period and we have less than 20% contributing . Quit being so f@@@#$%g cheap! I've been contributing since being a newhire over 18 years ago. Get over your political bias and realize they only donate to pro pilot politicians, R or D. You can still donate to other PACs that support your liberal or conservative issues.

Agree. My stance on ALPA is well documented. I hate paying to bribe politician dirtbags of either party.

But I back the PAC, and implore others to pony up. Money talks, bull**** walks.

Pretty boring AE.

It's nice to see movement for those of us scraping the bottom, though. I'll have gone from 94% in category at the peak of the stagnation to 51% later this year.

WOE. Several commutes now. Their hubs are snafu.

Something about bean counters insisting on PBS but not budging with the pocket book.

A historian please. How much did we get for agreeing to PBS?

They still have trips touching. Yes, SWA. The ultra efficient airline. Wonder how much THAT boosted W2s.

Same story at Fred's place.

Been trying for over four hours to get my bid in PBS...I've seen model T's with more speed

+10000000

It's also amazing to me how some guys are so detached from their careers. Just flew with a guy that had no clue about the recent LOA. When I told him we were going to get 5:15 a day, he couldn't believe it! I couldn't believe how he wasn't staying informed about his career on a most basic level. Pretty scary.

For ATL and NYC categories. From the peak of stagnation to later this year I will go from about 84% to about....well....looks like 84%. But I'm in a west coast base so I'll still take it. :)

Some have hatred towards ALPA. Mainline guys and RJ guys.

IMO ALPA needs to work on unity across all airline pilots before PAC will increase.

Scope got destroyed at mainline.... While whipsawing and race to the bottom continues at the regional level. Something to consider.
