They are operating some jets (2, I think) that exceed our max weight limit for affiliates. Don't know the type.

We don't enforce any part of our scope. Why would this be any different?

Our MEC approached management about this issue, & informed them it was a violation of our scope clause. Management was asked to cease this flying, & refused. A formal grievance has been announced by our MEC & it is in the process of being filed.

How about "dogmatic" to describe Carl?

---->Dogmatic: asserting opinions in a doctrinaire or arrogant manner; opinionated. :rolleyes:

How about "ignorant" for you Elvis?

---->Ignorant: Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about something in particular.

You're not listening Bar. Alpharomeo said something very simple and accurate...and you're not listening. Alpharomeo said: "Management merges companies, pilots do not." Until you can get past that FACT, you'll be beating your head against a wall as to why things aren't happening the way you want them to.

Now you're just lying Bar. Is that what it has come to with you? Your points are so patently wrong and factless, that you have to resort to flat out lies? Shameful.

Frankly, posts like yours typify why we keep making the same mistakes and getting the same results.

No, it's posts like yours that must really frustrate the ALPA member(s) that represent you. You've developed this thesis that unity would abound if only unions would make the decisions on mergers. The fact that the premise of your thesis is totally wrong does not seem to phase you though.

Carl - still reeling about defending alpharomeo :eek:

There is currently no way to do it.

"Ignorant" is as biting as "bigot"...how about "misinformed" or "naive"? I'm a "glass half full" kind of optimist anyway. Wordsmithing performance reports for the Air Force for 20 years does this to you.

Actually, it's not. We're all ignorant about certain subjects because nobody can know everything. Bigot is an entirely different animal though, and Bar knew it when he chose that word.

The Tombstone Doc Holliday is one of my favorite movie characters ever. It seems like just about every word he said in that movie was quote-worthy.

Great movie, too!

My favorite part is that he never puts his cup down.

NERD ALERT (Like myself):

Gettysburg is on the History Channel -- right now.

(I'm sure my wife is sick of this by now. :) )
