Do you not pay attention to anything?

Others post factually incorrect things about the fNWA contract. I refute it. They say, prove it. I prove it with the actual data. You call it sniveling.

If you have no other capability but to wrongly interpret what's going on around you, maybe you should try to improve on that before you post.

I do not know why we continue these pointless arguments. Both DAL and WA were in BK contracts that were less then stellar. If it was not for the merger neither pilot group would have received any raises, i.e. LOA 19 for fDAL and the JCBA for NWA.

fDAL would be in contract talks now, granted a good time for it and fNWA would be waiting another year. Would either or both carriers have furloughed last year? Would either have hired? The answer is no one knows and to look back and getting into these ****ing contests is worthless.

I had a fDAL pilot in the crew room the other day tell me that fNWA pilots should get less in profit sharing because we got a bigger raise. We talked about it for a bit in a rationale non internet sort of way. At the end we both decided that we were better of together in the long run in a merger. Especially considering the other dance partners.

I don't care where you got it. If you didn't actually know the data, you should have stated: "I heard this from an NWA guy." Instead you said this:

This is my biggest complaint about you/slowplay. You post things with authority about NWA...a company for which you did not work. A lot of those things turn out to be wrong. When I and others correct it, some of the other usual suspects here say: "stop whining" or "get over it" or "we're all one now." The reality is that the whole process would have never happened if the original post had not been based on a complete falsehood.

When I make a mistake, I say so. I don't make excuses and blame a "DAL pilot" for the bad data.

Here is an idea lifted from the fNW contract.

Take the blockholder without a block language and apply it to DL reserves using SC and LC.

SC eligible gets 75 hours guarantee.

LC only (no SC) 68 hour guarantee (insert your version of guarantee here).

Would obviously have to be some language about minimum number of people required to be eligible for SC blah blah...

There would be other considerations as well, I'm just not going to list them all here since its a hypothetical.

There you go again, Carl. Jackson Pollock would be proud of your painting style. By the way, you need a new drop cloth.

Care to point out the examples of your "complaint," or do those of your ilk prefer to just drive by...?

Rather than referencing Jackson Pollock in some weird attempt to make yourself look sophisticated, try starting out with the basics. Like actually knowing what you're talking about before you post something. Then maybe work your way up to "Dogs Playing Poker."

Glad to:

See how you try to infer that you know who people are? Don't know why you do that even though it's against the TOS. Maybe you think you can silence people by making them think you know who they are...who knows. But precisely to the point: you don't know who I am - yet you post that you "know" I'm on MH's mailing list.

This is an example of what I mean when I say that you make things up.

what he said. Why don't we all just watch some football on ESPN? Starting with ARK beating UGA, and then tonight Auburn and Clemson at 7pt. Kirk and the gang, Erin Andrews on the sideline, Auburn fans in the stadium, come on now guys.... even if you don't chear for Auburn you can find something to chear about.
