I know it's difficult to believe, because we all want to believe our national union actually wants the best for us. They want what's best for ALPA and that lays directly at the feet of Mr. Moak. Right now everyone assumes Delta will vote unanimously for Moak again. Let your reps know that you don't support Moak if that's what you think. We'll have plenty of reps that will vote for Moak regardless. We need more reps to stand up against the little dictator.

Carl

According to the last paragraph of Moak's statement on page 5 of the July 2014 Air Line Pilot magazine, "As I'm sure you've heard, I've made the decision to end my presidential term at the close of this cycle." I take that to mean he's not going to run, but it's not like we haven't all heard that line before.

Preach it brother Carl!! I couldn't agree more. The length of the announcements drives me bonkers. You tell the FAs it'll be a short taxi, but sure enough, you're number 1 and that PA has just gotten to the part about the life vests. :mad:

Alright, since I'm on a rant roll...I'm on my way out west on Delta and they won't stop playing that boarding music from John Legend singing "All of me". I swear if I hear that whiney song one more time:

Word is HNL mechanics are going to school for the 900. Islands, here they come. Anyone remember the small provision slipped into the last loa?...

I don't believe it is a 75 replacement. Never said I did. There IS no replacement for the 757. The 321 is not, the 900 is not. Oh well.. management made THAT choice too didn't they? Frankly, I wish we'd buy C130s again.
:cool:

I think this 2104 economy is way better than what we had in 2008.

*The stock market is 10,000 points higher.
* Businesses and & Banks aren't rushing to D.C. to get bailout loans.
*The defect is shrinking.
*The economy is adding jobs, not losing them at a rate of 500,000+ per month.

Those are just a few of the differences that can be attributed to either party, or Administration. Give President Bush the credit for it, if you want to. Give Clinton, or Obama the blame. Who cares? This economy is better though.

I would "Back the PAC" no matter who they supported. Unfortunately because it'a the money that talks in Washington. Labels, political affiliations, and all the bickering back and forth is just for show.

Is it ok if I bring Stella? :D

I am surprised that the leftists point to the stock market as a tribute to their boy. Isn't it the evil Wall Street that they want to topple? Evil McDOnalds that won't pay $15/hour to flip burgers? Isn't it the institutional investors... you know.. the Koch Brothers and the like that are manipulating the market for their own personal gain? Allegedly. The 1%ers that are so vile that they must be crushed at any and all costs? No.. THAT doesn't define the policies of an administration. The stock market rise is based on the fact that the economy has floundered for a long time and the corporations within it have cut as much fat as is necessary to bolster earnings in the current times. It is all baked into the market at this point. However, there is growing concern that valuations are getting too high. Maybe THAT would account for the implosion of the last week. Maybe not. The market is fickle.

What is not fickle is the fact that there are more middle class Americans on food stamps that at any time in our history. We have a rising debt and deficit that neither the Congress (BOTH parties) nor the WH, (1 party) seem to give a tinker's dam about. THOSE policies lie right at the feet of the current occupant that has decided to phone it in for the last 2 years. Not GWB. Not Bill. Not Reagan.

And as I have said before many times, I appreciate the work the PAC does, I cannot support legalized bribery of public officials that are there to supposedly do what is right. It is abhorrent to me, and yes I know I am cutting my own throat. To hell with all 537 of those people.

And pelosi reid.. reid specifically is largely to blame for the majority of the ills we now have. More so than Barry, because he won't even bring things to a vote he knows BO wont sign off on... That man is cholesterol in the US Congress

Stella's fine, but I prefer Guiness.... I mean good ol' American Budweiser... wait.. that's owned by a foreign corporation... um... Yeungleng? (or however the hell you spell it)

I was only saying that the economy was better. I don't care who gets the blame, or credit.
