We don't live in a static world.

I don't know about that.

Try walking across the carpet with socks on in the winter.

I get static from the wife all the time.

My car radio specializes in static.

My VOL 1 mentions "static thrust" numerous times.

I think the jury is still out on this one. :)

"Honey, how's this MEC been doing on revenue generation for payment of our mortgage and the growth of our kids' college fund?"

My expert says, "not so good".

Where they [ALPA] stink is the communications department. Part of that IMHO is by design of these NDA's. Either way, communication on the issues and our direction on the issues needs to get a lot better. Period.

Hmm? And that was just in the last two HOURS!:mad:

My simple point was that there were options that we could have looked at.

Oh really? Gee, why didn't ALPA think of that? Care to elaborate on some of those options?

acl, you're a pretty smart guy; naive, imo, but your heart is in the right place -- but you're WAY out of your league when you start talking about the DB. Let it go, it destroys your credibility in other areas.

PG

I do not think that classifying ALPA's communication as "stinking" as bashing. I call it constructive criticism. As I want to see a better more transparent union. Plain and simple.

I don't bash ALPA. I bash short sighted people that use my dues money in ways that aren't beneficial.

Yeah, right. Well, if everyone running the show is so short sighted and wasting your dues money, you and your buds better turn in your keyboards and start getting involved so we can all live the glorious life that you are promising. You owe it to the rest of us!

At least acl's "friend" made a run for it, and a good one. I respect that; he's trying to make a difference rather than just "bashing short sighted people that use...dues money in ways that aren't beneficial":mad:

I don't call that ALPA bashing. I call it punching back on the issues.

If the current DALPA administration and its proponents, and ALPA national, cannot take it then why would we want them negotiating on our behalf?

Spoke with a CP today, apparently we've gone from being fat for the winter on pilot manning and being a little over for the summer schedule to being "tight" for next summer. Since we all know mother D staffs for the summer, maybe we'll see them fire up the hiring again soon.

Excellent!!! Bring it on!

OMG, leave it to an Auburn guy to post a picture of a pit bull humping a pot bellied pig. Just what every War Chicken needs after a long day of cow tippin!:D

I knew that was coming. :D
