You say your reps want this. How could this not have made the bullet point list of what O'Malley says we want? How could he have not heard this? Is Moak's voice louder? Is ALPA national's voice louder? So far, his letter shows me that these voices are indeed louder.
Carl, FYI, the DTW Capt. Rep is on record saying that there is no conflict of interest between the RJ's and the mainline pilots at ALPA National, he also doesn't believe that ALPA NAtional is broken. TT is not the guy you think, just another politician looking to move up the ALPA ranks. |

Airline Pilots vs Brain Surgeons
So, I was just watchhing "60 minutes ",concerning a whistleblower on mega-phamaceutical company " Glaxo". Many people were made seriously ill by tainted drugs manufactured at one of Glaxo's plants.
The Gov't sued and won $750 million for fraud , among other charges. The whistleblower received $93 million of the settlement. The network was interviewing a Harvard MD who is acknowledged to be the leading pharmaceutical expert in the U.S. The interviewer commented to the MD, that making drugs was a very difficult process, and the MD responded that Brain Surgeons and Airline Pilots also had very difficult jobs, and we didn't accept poor performance from them. Ok, so I checked and the average Brain Surgeon makes $297-584k/year. I want my raise now, how about you ? Rant over..... |
Another change of topic for a post or two here. Our check for the end of Jan will go up to a fixed rate of something like $2300 so will our check on 1/15 be less than the normal mid month check or will the check for 2/15 be the first mid month check that is less?

But I get what you're saying. :D The difference really between us and them is we're not likely to get ourselves killed in this thing... http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviatio.../2/0870200.jpg But we're also less likely to have a trophy wife... I'll spare the picture. Who wants to see a trophy wife anyways, especially on this forum... And I'll go ahead and deduct 10 points from myself for this post. |

And where is that record?
In a personal email from him to me. :) |
Carl, if you're going from ATL-PHX tomorrow in that shiny machine of yours then stick a War Cam Eagle.
3 points to each player you say it to, 10 points if you say it to a player who won the Heisman and 30 points to each one of these you say it too... http://grfx.cstv.com/schools/aub/gra...tiger-paws.jpg |
Sorry, I should've shown this one...
http://www.auburn.edu/student_info/t...2010/main1.jpg FTB, 10 points back. |
I wouldn't say anything to Cam. You might end up having to pay him for the privileged of flying him to PHX!
