Big college will go bust. But it won't be due to teacher salaries, which haven't really grown that much. Instead it will be due to the exponential rise in the number of "administrators," and their pay.

What do you think the team will glean from the observation as far as the RFP, thought the days of individual airlines tailoring the aircraft were over. Sounds like a boondoggle.

I got them from alpa.org, then PAC, then list of non-incumbent contributions. Here is a reposting yet again of those numbers:
This is from the list of non-incumbents to which ALPA PAC supported financially for candidates to win House and Senate seats:
2007-2008: Democrats 21...Republicsns 0
2009-2010: Democrats 24...Republicans 3
2011-2012: Democrats 40...Republicans 5
2013-2014: Democrats 21...Republicans 1
It clearly shows (as if we didn't already know) that ALPA PAC is a far left wing supportive political organization. The only way you can get away with that in a union that has primarily conservatives as its members is to lie about what you do. Use terms like "pilot partisan" etc. when the reality is that when it comes to getting new congressmen to unseat incumbents, ALPA PAC supports democrats almost always, and republicans almost never. Again, the data is from YOUR website.
Yes that's a part of the incumbents list where you necessarily have to contribute to both sides. When you look at the full list of incumbents (house and senate incumbents) it's 135 Democrats to 92 republicans. Even though there are more republicans than democrats in the legislative branch. So yet again, ALPA PAC leans heavily democrat...even among incumbents.
No need, just the numbers that I posted above regarding incumbents: 135 Democrats, 92 Republicans.
The defense either can't read, or you don't want to read. That non-incumbent list is complete proof of what ALPA PAC is...a very far left political support group.
The truth rests.

It may come as a surprise to you, but there are certain politicians who aren't supportive of the issues that matter to airline pilots, as demonstrated by their stated positions or voting record. It would be counter productive for ALPA to support their political ambitions, but their party affiliation has no bearing on the process.

777-300LR's are the only real replacement for the 747's. Unless, of course, you consider codesharing as a replacement.
If they displace 1/4 of our 747 pilots next year (barring an early-out program) there will be a massive downward bid tempered only a little by the 330 deliveries. Any aircraft we order in October will take at least 2-3 years to materialize.
So we've got that going for us ...

You weren't unfair to count incumbents, you were just trying to hide what the record is on non-incumbents.

Yeah...I'll let the numbers speak for themselves:

College has really been dumb downed as well. My little cousin is going through the same University, and program I went through. I kept all my books, and class notes from when I went through it a decade ago. In comparing the syllabus, the workload has literally been cut in half from the same classes I took back then. He will graduate with the same degree I have, but with pretty much half the work.
