You have just alleged that all pilots are too dumb to elect their own leaders to best represent their interests. Your fellow cockpit mates really appreciate your arrogance and disdain for their ability to think for themselves....:mad:

Carl, I have a question for you. Seriously. If a bunch of lawyers sat around on greedylawyer.com and critiqued how it was obvious to them that the pilot on their last leg was a screw up, and should have gone around because he flew through windshear (for example), but the captain, and co pilot, and LCA jumpseater all said it wasn't windshear, what would you say? And who would you believe? The lawyers sitting in the back with zero flying experience, or the three professional pilots on the flight deck?

These lawyers, with NO FLYING EXPERIENCE, were convinced the 3 pilots were wrong. Who you gonna believe?

Just curious.

An innocent man accused of murder hired a high priced lawyer to defend him. The lawyer did not provide him an adequate defense...which one went to jail?

Now let's move to the question of ALPA's "expert" lawyers: Do those lawyers state FACTS, or do they state OPINIONS?

Second question: Do neutral arbitrators and judges state opinions, or do they issue RULINGS?

Last question: Why does ALPA not want to seek the ruling of a judge, and instead, hang their hats on OPINIONS?

Can one of you airplane counter guys give us another update on how many more RJs can come onboard before the contractual limit is reached? I think its pretty obvious they are trying to hit that limit before contract time. Sometimes it's nice to look at the syringe and see how many cc's are left while you are being injected. From what I remember there is still a fair amount left. Thanks.

It's my understanding they are stating facts.

Wrong. Lawyers give you opinions.

Oh, and those "new" 170s that we just signed for today aren't new at all. They are simply being shifted from another certificate. I'm eagerly awaiting the ALPA lawyer's opinion on this.
