Are you saying we can't fix it?

For the record, I believe the Company has engaged in self help. Further I believe this non compliance could be used to set a course of conduct. I will vote to authorize a strike and encourage my labor leaders to protect our jobs.

What a concept!

Watch it Bar, with that kind of talk you'll be banned next! :rolleyes:

Serious question here: Why can't our displaced Whale guys fly 49% of Virgin's 747's?

Yes, they can fly 717 Captain! :eek::D

I don't know where our whales go, but I see lots of Virgin's whales in MCO every day. Pretty sure they are also in MIA as well as NYC.

Well, it seems one of our thin skinned moderators---johnso29---has taken it upon himself to ban Carl from APC under the guise of commenting on the cheerleader pic posted above! Way to go johnso!

Here's what he said ""We simply have to raise the pay around here. Johnso29 should not have to supplement his income by outside cheerleading." For that, Carl was banned from APC! Lighten up johnso.

Love him or hate him, Carl adds a ton to the discussion here.

It's a sad state of affairs at APC when moderators don't act impartially.

Johnso you, like the ALPA, have a serious credibility problem.

I doubt you will ever get displaced off the 7ER to smaller equipment. The fleet plan overlayed with pilot retirements does not support that happening.
