The way I read the NMB finding (on STS for RAH when it comes to representation) I see the NMB anazed that RAH is so confident they will not get called out on as being a STS that they have become either sloppy or indifferent in playing the ALPA approved multi-certificate shell game. They're no longer trying to hide the obvious.

 

It wouldn't if we had longevity pay....

 

Shuster Amendment has been removed from the FAA Reauthorization Bill.

I disagree. All longevity pay would do is substitute quality of life for max pay. So now instead of having the 777/747 as the most desirable, you have maybe A320 as most desirable. So now all the junior guy can hold is 747 f/o flying 13 day trips for what, 757 f/o pay? Parking of equipment and any associated reductions would still come in reverse seniority order, regardless of position. I also doubt the company would save money on training, as the whole list realigns from pay to QOL. Just my opinion.

She's a true idiot most of the time. And while I can't stomach to watch the show there was nothing on one night and I ended up stopping on her show as I flipped through the channels. It was hilarious how idiotic her commentary was. (See transcript here, about half way down the page)

She was in Lawrence, Kansas and was making a point about how awful it was that an abortion doctor was shot and killed in the state; that someone would fight against established law by killing an abortionist. In incredible disbelief she talks about how whacked anti-abortionists are saying, "Abortion is legal!" This is not intended to bring up a discussion on abortion--most minds are made up on the issue one way or the other, and a debate here is not going to change anyone's mind. But what was laughable was that she hammered her point home about how proud she was of Kansas and their sense of freedom by citing the plaque nearby that commemorated John Brown. The same John Brown who led the raid on Hapers Ferry where his group killed people in attempt to cause an insurrection against slavery in Virginia. Fortunately, John Brown ended up on the right side of history, but the funny part was Maddow not once saw the hypocrisy of using Brown as a shining example of freedom: Don't take a moral stand and kill those you disagree with unless it's something I agree with; in that case your killing entirely justified. Now that I know she's a Rhodes Scholar I have a lot less respect for Rhodes Scholars.

 

I don't care what political side of the house you're on -- if you have no problems listening to or watching Rachael Maddow, then you need to turn in your man card. She is the epitome of that woman who always has to be right or have it her way in a discussion. She sounds like someone's ex-wife. She uses her job as a giant soapbox to voice her frustrations with conservatives who disagree with her lifestyle. I find her to be one of the most divisive personalities ever on TV.

 

That's great news. I was so annoyed at his actions. Lets just hope that another rep or senator doesn't tack on something else.

 

What about her?

She has to be one of the dumbest people on television.

Talk about always having to be right...

KC,

If you can't stomach what a woman says on TV, doesn't that mean you have to turn in your man card?

 

You talking about Rush and the FOX 'talent?'
