Statement retracted because I'm tired of too many thin skins

I keep seeing this sentiment put forward, but wasn't it ALPA that achieved C2K for the Delta Pilots? The best contract I have seen. The contract that enabled SWAPA to get where they are today, so I guess "there's not always going to be some reason, excuse, or obstacle...."

What do you military guys call your flight uniforms? Bags? I want a bag. I want to wear white socks and shorts and a t-shirt and still look flight ready.
I prefer long sleeve shirts. Of course years ago poor ACL was nearly stoned from wearing long sleeve shirts. He barely survived. Times have changed.
I have little choice but to wear short sleeve shirts because I can't find a long sleeve that's actually long and sometimes the fabric is just chinsy.
As to our summer time attire? It's a fashion faux pas, let's admit it:

I still don't have a clear picture how a different union will be able to convince the NMB (ya' know, those 3 people in DC who have ALL the control) to give us more than our current representational agent.

I am more concerned about scope than pay. And there are several work rules I think need to be addressed.

Apparently he didn't know how to fight or have the common sense not to try and pick up on the FO's girlfriend.
When your judgement clears up, you can always delete...

I'm guessing the number is between 15-20 percent raise upfront. Most pilots I talk to seem to think that will put our 737 rates equal with Southwest's.
This board as a whole is a minority full of extremes. We are a bad sample. We are mostly young, junior, and optimistic, or old, bitter, and ****ed off.
I already said I would vote yes to a short-term contract that locks in scope with a 20 percent raise upfront if the deal would go into effect January 1, 2013. That said, I originally put 70 percent down on the survey, then went back and changed it to 99 percent. I was called on Friday night to do the phone survey, but I was at a hockey game. I got disconnected twice so I never did get to answer any questions. It's a shame because I wanted to voice my opinion. Oh well.
