Many of us have studied your contract and know a lot about what's in it. Speaking of anthropologists, it would be nice if your contract was "so easy, even a caveman could understand it." :D

When we get things wrong, please continue to set us straight. For the most part, facts really do matter around here.

The passenger, I kid you not, SRQ-ATL and sitting in coach:

Gave me that look with sunglasses on. If I was quicker I could have said "Captain Kirk wouldn't have done that..."

I thought we already covered this on the regional board...

Kirk didn't actually drive, Sulu did.

And Sulu can take the pounding.

In all fairness... click on our live contract on DeltaNet and look through section 1. With all the crap that has been MOU'd without membership approval you need a PHD to figure out what the heck they did.

You crack me up Boomer. You're going to keep reminding us of this joke until we give it the proper respect...aren't you! :D

No argument there!

Glad at least our ALPA lawyers understand it. Oh wait.

Company provided life insurance.
 
A quick look at the Open Enrollment stuff shows $1M of extra coverage for a non-tobacco 36 year old male to be $24.50/mo, which comes out to just shy of $300/year. Any opinions on this option versus something like a level term policy (ends up being around $350/yr). How much can I expect the $24.50 to go up year over year? Is the company insurance a decent deal, or does it get exponentially more expensive over time?

Thanks.

edit: Nevermind. That's $24.50 per pay period. Big difference.

So section 1 was murdered and it'll take a CSI team to figure out how it happened? Can we vote on the CSI team?

Let me try it this way.

I could care less whether you insult ALPA. I do it every day. What I was getting at is the propensity to post facts, which I do in fact like, then you top it off with a personal insult towards the person you're disagreeing with. This is what I'm getting at. If that's how you wanna run your show, fine by me. Just hope you don't act that way towards crewmembers who disagree with you.

Fair enough. I try pretty hard not to do that despite being constantly baited by the many ALPA officers that post here. But once again, you listed my telling a guy to get his story straight as an insult even though he contradicted himself in the same post. That's not a personal insult. It's pointing out a clear contradiction.
