So much for the Visine theory.

I heard they took him to Waffle House for his final test.
Waitress asked him "Grits or toast?" He obviously chose correctly.:)

Welcome to Hotlanta Krash. Now, about this contract thing.......

Was the correct answer: both?

I thought it was grits or potatoes?

I mean. wouldn't there be a significant amount of widebody pilots who bid to smaller equipment so they could be senior and/or be at home more, or not have to deal with the hassle of time zone changes, customs, etc?


Of course, that's just a guess. What do you guys think?

New,

I don't think so. Think about it - any current wide-body pilot could be way more senior right now if that is what they wanted. I am assuming pay banding (separate rates for narrow and wide bodies).

I think you might be referring to straight longevity pay - which I have not really thought about. Then again, I have been known to be wrong before. ;)

You are right. I was talking about straight longevity pay. I didn't know what pay banding was. My bad. :)

I do not think that is it. It probably has more to do with the fact that you cannot conduct business from Godfather's! :D

FTB and Ferd nailed it. Its a down home version of an MMPI question.
Correct answer is hash browns, but that's not one of the choices.

Less than two hours to go on record:

Yanks or Tigers????????

Scoop

PS - Did anyone else notice that Delmon Young went from the Twins to the Tigers? I think his dad, Larry (Ex Navy Pilot and current DAL Pilot extraordinaire) told him to stick to DAL Hubs so he could make it to the games. :D

Ok, there is your solution to these issues. It does not matter if it is a Policy Manual or a By Law issue, it all starts with a resolution at the LEC level.

Having one or two pilots show up at a meeting will not cut it, it needs to be a group of pilots who goes to the web boards, starts a web page and gets the message out there. Doing that, creating the hype will get your fellow pilots to show up. Also make sure it is on the advance agenda so that Proxies count.

Carl states that everyone has tried, and failed, but I ask how many have tried as a grassroots group, not an individual. To facilitate the change you demand takes more than a few pilots, it takes the numbers that DPA touts.

Your entire post ignores yet again the FPL resolution that took a lot of effort and votes. That resolution has been ignored. ALPA simply made up their own rules. I know this hurts your argument, but when you just ignore it and revert to your ALPA talking points, it makes you look bad.

Again, we did that. A textbook case of council 20 pilots banding together with our reps and crafting an FPL resolution that was legal in every way. That resolution has been completely ignored. ALPA simply made up its own rules, and said they simply can't comply with it.

This is just ONE example of how the MEC bureaucrats remain in power and the disdain they hold for your opinion unless it agrees with theirs.

Because you're not speaking up with the correct opinion. If you speak up with the incorrect opinion, you are a flat earther and black helicopter guy to be marginalized and put in the dust bin of: "minority".
