"Freaking idiots"

It absolutely is the case. The ALPA PAC is a perfect example. When it comes to funding new people to seats in the Congress, ALPA PAC overwhelming supports far left democrats. Overwhelmingly.

That's not the history at all. First, there was Judea long before there were "Palestinians." There actually has never been a "Palestine." The Jews were forced out of what is now known as Israel by Arabs and Muslims during multiple "wars" after Mohammed rose to prominence in the 7th century.

The roots of the nation of Israel were born in the Palestinian Mandate of 1947. The Jews (and I'm not one) began slowly buying up swampland and lands that the Ottoman Empire didn't want in the late 1800s. The Palestinian Mandate was a UN-directed cut out of land following WWII offering Jews their traditional homeland. The Arabs that were "displaced" were offered the right to remain in Israel or migrate to the newly created nations such as Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. Those newly created nations chose to reject their fellow Muslims.

Absolutely nothing to do with guns. Nothing.

C130,

JMO, but it's bad form to be calling guys you don't even know "idiots" and "freaking idiots," especially when you're not even on the property yet. It's generally a good idea to keep a low profile until after you get off probation. YMMV.

IF you did fly C-130s, and IF you are starting on Monday, October 20th, and IF you do have a low SS#, you do realize that it would be child's play to determine your identity? Now tell us all again WHO is the freaking idiot? Just sayin'.

My best advice to you is to stay off the message boards (or if you can't do that, at least just lurk). Have a good attitude in the schoolhouse and on the line. Enjoy the job, and especially enjoy your time off. Good luck!

What changes to retirement were in LOA 46?

Yeah, and Chapter 11 and an 1113 were like, what, one year? What about all the other years after Moak "became involved?" Delta came out of bankruptcy with an ever increasing positive outlook back in 2007. And we've never heard one word from Moak or his disciples about restoring our profession or our contract. All we've heard from them is every excuse in the book why it's supposedly not possible.

My god, this is like a witch hunt. Little people with little minds are threatened by new information. You guys should look at these last few pages. Maybe we should get Senator McCarthy back and conduct some hearings. Maybe I am really a Communist in disguise. Argue the facts, if you have any. Or if you don't have any facts, fall back on the witch hunts. Quite disgusting behavior, you should be ashamed.
