You asking another question of someone in the hallway is understandable, but this ditzy TV lady for MSNBC is on national TV. What did she do wrong? Again, she asked more questions. It's so obvious what she did wrong it begs the question--why are you so forgiving of her? Had she been on Fox you'd be laughing at how dumb she was to keep the conversation going. I would be too, but for some reason since it's on that WH propaganda channel you're making excuses. I just find your reaction somewhat entertaining and interesting because it's an example of how people's biases affect their reactions. What did she have to do before it got to the point you'd find her performance embarrassing? Did she have to go the point of asking, "Do you have any idea how much flatus was expelled from Mr. Stern's anus, and at what speeds it reached to have such a devastating effect on the 747?" As for everything else you said, blah blah blah...I told you what she did wrong and the rest of what I wrote related to my trying to understand the reaction of an American male presumably of average or higher intelligence who for some reason fails to see what is before him in a video. This is a perfect example of why prosecutors are sometimes suspicious of eye witness accounts. The human mind is a amazing and interesting subject.
If you really think that that one extra question is indicative of being ditzy, I would caution you not to employ that belief in real life. My experience has taught me that there is never anything wrong with one extra question, no matter where you are. ;) |

What's funny is that you THINK I am being biased. I am not. I told you I would have defended anyone who did that. As, I pointed out, I do it, too. Being on national TV, doesn't matter. I would understand why anyone would try to continue that interview. She asked one question after the initial "Howard Stern" reply, then indicated she didn't hear him afterwards.

Also to claim that any election (ie, C2012 vote) didn't show the "will of the people".
- Why was there no good faith effort to present the facts--instead, we got a one-sided FUD campaign to bully us into voting "yes?" - Why did the unelected bureaucrats distort, misrepresent, and equivocate its contents? Remember, ALV+15 was only for international categories [let's ask the NB guys this summer about that]. No way the company would take advantage of the sick verification loophole. We need to pass this to get 717s! I could go on (and I will if we get set up again). - Why was DALPA so eager to conform to the company's rushed timeline? When "our" "union" is too busy helping the company to give its constituents an honest effort, you can bet they will hear about it--now, and in the future. |

What it looked like to me was that she was doing the standard talking head thing- just a bunch of words somewhat pre-programmed and not really listening. No matter the combination of letters, all the news agencies just go hog wild in this stuff and the talking heads show their true mindless colors.

not surprising that one of Moak's disciples jumps to the defense of another. bravo. I've met Alfa (though he probably doesn't remember me). While I found him a bit smug at times, I found him very bright, very devoted to the bettering all of our careers as his primary motivation (including yours and mine), and doesn't give the company one millimeter of slack. He will call out their buffoonery in a nanosecond when warranted, and will work professionally with them when that is warranted. This idea that he is a Moak "disciple" who wants to ensure that we never rock the boat and is willing to accept and even promote a sub-standard contract in order to preserve peace, harmony, his "cushy" ALPA gig or whatever else you want to throw at him is absolute horse hockey. By all means if you find a TA unacceptable then vote no and let your reps know why. That is what being an ALPA member is all about. But to just sling mud from afar in order to stir up **** and vinegar is just childish. |
