I have two relatives who lobby in DC. That's pretty much all that town is now, and you wouldn't believe the two things they lobby for. As in: They have lobbyists?? We absolutely HAVE to be there. I don't care if it's ALPA, DPA, or Billy Bob's airline pilots and bait shop... all I care about is having a voice. Right now that's ALPA. Well, thanks again for writing the letters. Those actually go a long way. Cheers...
I love that link. Use it often for the fight in DC. Just don't know what extra button to click at bottom.....transportation?....foreign policy?....

Again, no credibility results in few people taking 10 seconds of there time to do this.
I suppose you just send out tweets daily instead of voting or getting involved.

Last I saw the union has had a large upheaval, maybe more change to come but I'm pretty sure continually referring it to alpo isn't going to endear you to anyone but your Twitter followers.

Never feel bad about not flying on reserve. They ain't paying me to fly. They are paying me to answer the phone and come to work if they need me. They never felt bad about calling me at midnight with a noon report the next day after I drove 5.5 hours home. Nor did they feel bad about me sitting in Buffalo hotel on Thanksgiving eating BLT for lunch at cafe. Feel good about being home and irritating your teenage daughter.

Oh, Mr. Luv wants to get personal. How sweet.

Care to share the changes made at ALPA national? Haven't seen it.

Well, I'm far from involved myself other than a vote, just like everyone else, but I'd hope with a new crop of leadership at DALPA that a new way of thinking may filter on up to National.

I just think repeatedly referring to it as ALPO does not help, and at the present it's the best alternative we have available to have any collective voice.

Do you think the teamsters wants to speak for airline pilots? Do you just want to pull out of the conversation altogether?

Bottom line, US has the best government that money can buy, and money and lobbying is the only thing that even comes close to capturing our governments attention. If you have some specific reform you'd like to see, please post, and I'd more than likely get onboard as well.

It's not personal, but in the end it's all business and what becomes of the profession over the next decade.

quick PBS bidding question.

I would like to bid a certain 1 day rotation that operates on the 26 and 27th.

I would only like to fly 1 of them but not both and I don't care which 1.

How can I ask PBS to award either 1 of those but not both

When you put in that you want pairing number departing on date 25/26 you list both and
then at the bottom of the page you can select limit and then put 1 at least on the web version.

Award pairings if paring number is xxxx and departs on xx/xx

There are two separate preference boxes you have to click to do this.

You can put all that on one line, and put 'Limit 1' on the same line if you only want one of them.
