Don't forget how badly ALPA is missing the mark on the Flight and Duty times opportunity they are Pi*ssing away right now. I agree, the spinmeisters will try to say DPA is only the NWA guys with sour grapes. Simply not true. Lots of Delta South guys have been waiting for something like this to come along. In the end the general members will pick the president and other representatives, be it FNWA or FDAL.

9 years of TSA BS
ALC, Sailingfun, finis72 and others,
Just a quick review, It's been a little over 9 years since 9/11 and we still can't go to work without having to deal with this TSA BS. Come on 9 years!, I can go to my local gym and use my thumb print to get in. The technology is available to verify who we are. They (TSA, DHS & FAA) know who we are, we all have had 10 year back ground checks and many have held security clearances in our prior jobs. This is all security theater and I believe most pilots are upset because we know bull **** when we see it. ALPA, has been working on this in the background, but don't you think 9 years is a little excessive.
I for one will opt out for the package check every time.
Rant Off.

Jack, according to some of the CAPA guys they are not getting invited to all of the meetings. Why is that?
Maybe because they are spewing rhetoric around the process instead of trying to work on their issues within the ARC.
Just sayin.

Has anyone worn a cup for the molestation exam yet? I'm seriously considering getting mine out of retirement from my stinky old hockey bag. How funny would it be for a TSA bonehead to knock on a cup. "Whats in your pants Mr. Pilot? It's my package holder, here why don't you hold it for me."

If you notice, CAPA associations are fairing no better. It comes down to the money.

Acl, you gotta admit that Alpa's message in October was pathetic. Hindsight is 20/20 and I can see they were working behind the scenes. They really do need to grow a pair though. I think a lot of us would like to see if they actually have teeth. Maybe age 65 means Alpa is just full of gummers!!!!
