and here they are, your DALPA cramdown specialists: seaslap8, leine lodge, bender rodriguez, justrubbinmyknob, karnak...even slowplay has surfaced.

it must be contract season.

 

RA's tie?

more like his junk. actually...our junk.

 

No matter how you feel about PD,
THAT------- >"Justrubbinmyknob" is some funny S%it

 

wow.

I'm guessing 145/110

I would much rather be grouped with rational thinking logical people than emotionally based knee jerk rumor hanging newbie whiners, so thanks.

 

When there are no reserves, why do guys White Slip and Yellow slip?!! My GS are getting screwed up! Blanket Party!

 

Our execs were there to share the black swan of the week. Never mind oil going to $20. Look at the black swan!!!!!!!

Probably scared the hell out of Buzz, Randy and a couple of the new guys.

Or Sailing maybe RA is so dumb he takes the time to go to these meeting and doesn't know it won't help him.

Let's see, who has a better track record???

Who else in the world can sell the black swan while printing money??

 

Or perhaps they showed up because a mutual decision had been reached to exchange openers early. Never let the facts get in the way of rumor and innuendo!

 

Anyone know where this came from?

Establish pilot option to waive 12 hours between rotations

To me this is a consesion for productivity. Any other opinions?

 

Now,now...let's all calm down. I'm still as disappointed as the rest about our last TVM sell job on the last contract.

However, getting wrapped around the axle at this point about a contract that just began to think about taking form today is going to give someone an ulcer. The industry is so much stronger and healthier today, than it was 3 years ago that, it would be suicide for ALPA to send us a contract that is not a lot better than 4/8/3/3.

I will be first in line to get rid of ALPA if this contract is as marginal as the last one. But I still wouldn't vote for DPA.

No offense, but after reading the posts from some of those children on the DALPA message boards, they aren't the answer either, but I think if we don't see healthy improvements in this contract, my question will be, "What do we need a union for?"

This isn't directed at you Jerry. I like your posts, for the most part, and we desperately need more guys like you in this association. But let's at least give the guys a chance and support them, until it's time to kick them out of the house and find new friends. (I hope that day doesn't come) I hope they don't disappoint us again.

If the TA they bring us is weak or doesn't meet our expectations, we vote no, and hopefully enough of us vote no to send it back and we go from there. We have several months between here and there though, so it's way, way, way too early to stress about it now. There is nothing we can do except express our opinions to our reps, and wait for something official.


Edit: I just re-read my post and I saw the words hope and hopefully in there....who was it that said "Hope is not and effective strategy."?

 

Same here brudda!
