You know with contract negotiations just around the corner.

I rarely post but the extremes the ALPA insiders will go to protect their sweetheart deals truly sickens me.

I agree. Not everything has to do with DALPA, not matter how hard some try to make it that way.

Was curious too. An early '97 South guy vs early '97 North guy...... Approx 1720 numbers.

It is what it is.

How about a scenario where the company is .5% out of compliance then they immediately have to pull down JV flying by 2%

Make the penalty a multiplier of their non compliance. The current measurement period is a joke and needs to be fixed as well.

You're glad Carl is banned because you can't debate him. He's light years ahead of you. Much easier to silence than debate. It's the ALPA way.

I've called you out on your post several times yet your post remains. Why is that Bar? Can't you find enough to disagree with me about?

I don't mind the picture at all if YOU post it. But to put it in a quote as if I posted it is just wrong. Show some class Bar.
Am I alone in that I did not think for a single second that the kitten picture in question was actually posted by index? I knew right away Bar had added it. It seemed pretty clear to me and I didn't think someone was 'lying'. I sure as heck wasn't deceived. Heck, the original post was only 4 posts prior on the same page and when you click on the link to take you to the original post by index it is clear that the pic wasn't part of the original.

This seems much ado about nothing. Not far removed from what happened to Carl. I certainly hope he is back to join us in the very near future. While I often don't agree with him, he's entertaining none the less.

And what's up with the ALPA reference. Really? This seems to be about online personalities. ALPA/DALPA doesn't have squat to do with this.

Of course you do. Gives you a breather from being held accountable by Carl.

This time it was a picture. Next time it may be adding words I never said. Is this acceptable Mr. Moderator?

What kind of action are you going to take johnso? Seeing how Bar is on of your "buds"?
Stop getting so spun up over internet chat. Go have a couple of beers and relax my man.

Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking.

Roadie, Index & PilotFrog,

Thanks for the replies. As previously mentioned, I wasn't as satisfied with the (mail-order) Dollar Shave Club blades, as I was with the (too expensive) Gillette Fusion blades. I keep getting APC advertisements for the Harry's Club blades, so thought I'd see what they were all about. They have a 30-day money back guarantee, which in "pilot-speak" means I can shave without charge for 25 days and then send them back if I don't care for their quality too.

Cheers,
GJ
