Carl, I love ya dearly man, but I just fast forwarded through 5 or 6 pages of you and the ALPA nitwits duking it out over stuff that has and never will be settled. Trust me, it's you and about 3 guys vs about 3 or 4 ALPA guys.........no one else is reading it. If you haven't noticed, the participation around here is almost nil.

Here's my suggestion..........start a new thread! Call it "Latest and Worse of DALPA" or something like that.

Or, and this is my preference, tell a joke, tell a flying story or two, post some cheerleader picks (remember when you used to do that?)

Look guys, we have a bunch of new guys coming that will need "how to" help just like us NWA guys did a few years ago. We need to clear the decks for that.

JMHO,
Ferd

Thanks Ferd. I'd nearly stopped coming here because it was the same circular arguments over and over - only the occasional nugget of underboob reeled me back in! ;). The reality is that no matter which viewpoint you have, you can't deny that we'll be under ALPA and the current DALPA administration for C2015. We can offer the reps our input, give support when requested, and see what they come up with. There will be plenty of time to argue the merits of C2015 or lack thereof when the TA is presented. Till then, less union warfare and more line tales, bidding tips, green slip bragging, layover gouge, MD88 praise, aircraft IDing, cheerleader pics, and yes, underboob, would make this the L&G I used to peruse daily while dreaming of the day I'd get to fly the mighty MD88, best airplane that Boeing ever built :D.

For Ferd. Only 38 days until the College Football season begins!

...And for Leine, FTB, beer, et al....

Just sayin.

Carl

I really didn't see that as a slam or divisive. We all have priorities depending on our spot on the list and past career.

You're so dang rude to that guy (ACL) and others when they post here I can't help but get a little defensive for him. I know he doesn't need it. He's been a rock on this site for years though.

Yep, funny to hear the crowd's reaction when he mentioned Man U!

That was something to hear that many people boo him. :eek:

War Eagle from BCN! (nonrevving, it'll be years before I can actually hold this trip :D )

Shiz you just about convinced me to go for those season tix. 2014's gotta be better than last year right? If we could've just played defense for 1:37 this would be a whole different discussion.

Good point. New hires need to have the information necessary to map out their careers. They need more than company/Dapla talking points. They'll get "the rest of the story" here.

Like 88Driver, Carl, Jerry, index and others, I won't be shouted down or intimidated by the usual suspects here whose agendas are at odds with line pilots' best interests.

We must demand accountability, transparency, and performance for our dues money.

Right on, brah! Fight the good fight to keep this thread boring! Let's keep complaining about everything. Everything sucks. ALPA is so lame. Delta owes us big time. Oh, welcome to all you new hires.

Just in case anyone forgot...
