Nope. Their roots are darker than Alex Haley's. :D

Or get rid of them too... that's actually a question. Should we aim to get rid of them too? Would an E175 or CRJ900 last at Delta had the regional industry never been invented?

Just a random thought.

That's right Nu.. alpa is faultless... we are so lucky to have them as the monopolistic entity they are taking your dues... Pay attention.

Heyas T,

That wasn't my point. You know better.

Nu

No.. I was chastising you because PG was setting you straight about the infallibility of the association....

Sorry T,

I tuned him out long ago.

Only when I need endless pages of "filler text" for dialog balloons do I even bother to annoy Alfa. Then I have more than I need for a year.

Nu

Yeah I guess I should too... I would really be upset though if I found out he was a rep somewhere.

I wonder, is there any ground between faultless and completely incompetent. Could it be possible that ALPA does many things well, most things well, but still, like the rest of any organization filled with fallible humans, could they make some mistakes? Are you an infallible pilot or an incompetent pilot? Or maybe you are just like the rest of us, a professional pilot that does the majority of things well, actually quite well, but makes mistakes from time to time and is very happy to have a good copilot sitting next to him.

Maybe ALPA should be faulted for what they do wrong, but also praised for what they do right. It just seems there is no middle ground with you.

Seems to me like scope is constantly brought up as a scare tactic by those with their own agendas. All I see here is a few guys fomenting fear over an issue where everyone knows any further errosion is non-negotiable. Take that.....dead horse.

aside from the toes, they grow them right in oklahoma. and no, I am not trying for a coaching job.

I think it is naive and foolish to believe the scope line is set in stone.
