It looks like you are more than holding your own without me. :D

Those individual responses to each sentence / premise are devastating.


And this is coming from someone who is still willing to take responsibility for ALPA's actions.

The opener will tell me all I need to know.

BTW, it's good to be back. :D

Thanks man. These guys throw out so much stuff, it's hard to keep up sometimes.

Seham is not telling his client what he wants to hear, he's following orders from the client. Again, I think USAPA is grasping at straws, but you have to admire a law firm that fights for their client to the bitter end.

This is your opinion, not USAPA's. To them, implementing that list would be far worse than what's happening now. They're the ones that get to decide whether their strategy thus far is a success - not us.

I've never said it was. I said that USAPA sees it as a success. There's nothing unethical about fighting hard for your client. If there had been a single example of unethical behavior, Seham's firm would have been sanctioned for it. That hasn't happened. But I know details like that don't matter to you ALPA "volunteers".

Speaking of ethics, did you apply for flight pay loss when you helped to disrupt the DPA during the ATL visit? Or did you just charge for the production of that video?

Yawn.

Factually incorrect? Care to post where the law allows for union dues budgeted to a local's pilots gets to be kept by the national union? I would help to represent the Delta pilots in that lawsuit for free!

No need to untangle anything. It's already budgeted and accounted for Delta pilots. It was and is the money of Delta pilots. If ALPA were to not agree, I know the IRS would show them the error of their ways.

Do some quick math and figure out what the DPA promise of 1% does in half a year.

It's about $15,000,000 a year in dues. Since we wouldn't be giving the majority of it to the regionals anymore, the $15,000,000 would be all for Delta pilots. Thus at 1%, it would be a net increase of dues revenue to be used for the representation of Delta pilots. Only Delta pilots.

That's more than we pay to ALPA in a whole year.

I've not gotten any email asking me for a whole rotation's worth of pay. Just emails asking for contributions if you can afford to. Maybe I missed it. Could you post the emails where DPA asked for a whole rotation's worth of your pay?

The longer I look at it, the more I don't like being shown yet another example of destinations I'll never get to visit. :(

I'm hearing from folks that they're telling the MEC we cannot pursue RAH holdings because our Section 1 is weak.

Is that true?

Stop picking on ALPA legal! They'll make up for all those prior failures when they win the TWA case.

Oh wait...

Fighting the good, noble fight is one thing, but fighting an unwinnable one with the hope of landing a lucky haymaker is just silly. I don't admire them at all, because they are still getting paid.

But now that you point this out I wonder how many pilots will be applying tonight to be a Body Paint and Make-up artist? :D

I'm overqualified. Wait, define body paint.

I think it is a blind auction and both Delta and Usair keep the proceeds from their slot sales.:)
