I don't condone that particular identity game they play, but you and them are slowly turning into opposite sides of the same coin. Arguments for argument's sake are tiresome. Especially when you feign not understanding another person's argument, but aren't coming out with a clean point of your own. All you seem to do, is ask questions, and take issue with every answer you get, without taking ownership of an argument of your own.

Carl's game is clear: he wants to discredit anything ALPA, or certain people within ALPA, do. All you seem to want to do is to discredit Carl, or some other ALPA people. You, PD, Carl, and Jerry are occupying the C2015 thread for that purpose. Isn't that enough?

Fair enough. I am not sure what argument I am feigning not to understand though. I will keep contract discussions over there. I sincerely hoped that they could remain discussions however, not a bash fest. Guess I was wrong and naive in that regard.

I called AK and explained the situation and apologized prophetically. AK thanked me for the update, appreciated my integrity for the tough call and succinctly said that person would be blacklisted from ever interviewing at DAL. I have since recommended 2 others who've both been selected. Had I not made the first call subsequent candidates that I wanted to recommend may have been tainted.

Doesn't OC's department control hiring now?

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to out your true identity. I'm simply saying that it's silly for you to be posting under this new identity. Why people think their writing style won't be noticed is always surprising.

Bring Tsquare back out of the closet!

Who cares if Tsquare went on a Bender calling himself Rodriguez. I just miss the pictures of the cheerleaders that Tsquare would post!!

After all we know those UT Cheerleaders are all "Volunteers"!!!

I agree with you, but it's a good reminder that Michael Campbell is back. The retired Delta executive and former founding partner of Ford and Harrison has come out of retirement to "help" negotiate our new contract.

Tsquare is coming out of the closet? I don't believe it. No way. He had pictures of the hottest girls on here. At least half his age!

I hear you, my friend. I retch every time I see it.

But I'm going to suck it up and keep it until we get the contract we demand and deserve.

This guy hates pilots/is paid so much he came out of retirement to bend us over on C15. This tells me one of two things:

- he did such an outstanding job phucking us over on C12, the company paid an exorbitant sum to lure him out of retirement.

- he built such good relationships with the DALPA junta, he voluntarily came out of retirement to get drunk and hit the strip joints with his buddies--and he's willing to take some time away from his yacht to live large with his boys again.

Or maybe it's both?

Either way, we must be ready to examine any TA carefully, and make sure C15 is representative of our contributions to these insane, once-in-a-lifetime profits.

This was his second "retirement." First was 11 years ago from Continental, where he worked with a labor attorney named...Richard Anderson.

Continental SVP, Michael Campbell, Rejoins Ford & Harrison LLP - FordHarrison - Labor and Employment Attorneys

Apparently, a future pilot stole his lunch money one too many times.

I think Capt and Mrs 80 Kts Clamp has a good ring to it too. However, if you choose that track versus the track I chose, you will miss out on some life enjoyment and opportunity.
