It gets better! Next time we fly together, I'll make you take the first break. It's a seniority thing.

You're better served staying in the shallow end of the pool here. You advocate simple solutions to complex problems, and that shows your limited capacity or willingness to think through the problems facing ALPA...and how DPA would "fix" them.

Tell me how it's structure will be different...how it won't be run by elected pilots who must weigh the sometimes counterproductive actions and narrowly-focused directives issued by its membership (those local resolutions) against their more-informed judgement.

Tell me.
Look ace, you're new here and have a lot to learn. All of what you are spewing has been debated over and over on this thread and on the DPA thread. Do some reading, then come back. Then you'll realize that nothing you've said is new, and nothing you've said has gone without numerous counterpoints. But then again, if you can only write and not read, maybe you won't learn anything after all.

Will DPA require pilots to live in base so that they're informed?

OK... first month on reserve for me, so here's the first of what will likely be lots of questions.

Where do I go to bid for Golden days???

This is exactly why the DPA has a huge chance of passing. Splash is ever so eloquently illustrating it and pushing the membership further away.


Here is a name that I am now grouping you under, Splash: Unionoid.

Enjoy! You epitomize it possibly better than anyone else I've seen on here.

This is hilarious. In one post you try to attack me by saying I'm not involved and don't vote. When proven wrong, you try to tell me that it doesn't do anygood. Which is it, Captain Arrogance?

New name. Old person.

Your "counterpoints" are weak and either require assumptions that don't comply with the Laws of Thermodynamics, or predict behavior that is not based on past performance.

"You" is the collective you.

For some reason I thought you'd get it.

My mistake.

Really...will you be clean by then?

To a guy who is too lazy to read previous posts and find the answers you seek (if you are indeed able to read), I'm tickled by your portrayal of other pilots as too lazy to vote. You seem to be dog paddling in the shallow end of the gene pool dude. Reading Is Fundamental!
