China is playing the slow game, watching the US political/economic mess, just biding their time. They are slowly westernizing, but trying not to make the same mistakes we are making…

Very frustrating and I have tried closing and reopening apps etc - Nada. Not sue if this an Apple touchscreen glitch or a App issue. Any thoughts? Anyone else experience this or am I just a hopeless Luddite?

Different airline but same problem on the iPad with the ‘I accept’ boxes. Got it to work by using Chrome browser.

Maybe ALPA confuses themselves as a union? This is off the ALPA website…

Splitting hairs, but

It's right there in their "definition". They are an association in the way the operate like no other trade union because they are hemmed in by RLA and are essentially many "local" unions negotiating on their own CBA's all under the umbrella of the Associations purview, guidance, and assistance.

So even according to them, they are small u union, but actually an capital A Association.

In the end, don't care what they are or aren't, the RLA is there to deal with, and hopefully our dues are being spent to our benefit as much as possible.

chynah is a basket case economy

it relies solely on the west for its existance

chynah is not going do **** WRT to Taiwan, as we have told them repeatedly since the mid 90's that we would not accept an invasion there

you can take it or leave it, but since I've been reading most of your posts here for 6+ years, you've pretty much got it wrong like all the time.

Quick question for you guys: I am reporting today for a 5 day and just saw an equipment sub for the first 2 legs. It’s not an IROP and nobody has notified me. I’m a line holder. Trying to figure out how this works. Does the trip NOOP? Do I have recovery flying? Do I need to show on time or can I later report? Trying to get ahold of scheduling but I’m on hold….

I believe this would fall under 23k recovery flying they can either sit you for 6 hours past report or assign you 1 recovery rotation. Which im sure they will end up doing.

you’ll be notified at check in, and the equipment sub and return to your rotation will be covered under 23.L.2.a.3

It's after five in Atlanta, is it too much to ask for tomorrow morning's short call assignments to be complete? Is it that hard to pick a handful of names?
