Default What is this?

I was wondering what this structure's original or intended purpose was. Any ideas? This is at the south end of B concourse in Atlanta.

Preferences, tricks, schemes, pyramid schemes, bad ideas, I'd like to hear anything you guys have.

Thanks,

Rolling thunder does not happen anymore. It happened when they made the GS trigger a lot higher for lineholders and only paid lineholders 1.5 pay. This meant almost all greenslips went to reserves which resulted in rolling thunder. Now you're lucky to get 1 greenslip per month. 2 is extremely lucky and 3 is pretty much unheard of these days. Don't waste your time trying.

This structure was built in 1999 by Leo Mullin to support the huge weight of the BIG PICTURE, however construction was never finished, and the BIG PICTURE sunk into the big pit at the end of 27L.

Does it even matter to you that I've never posted any such thing? Much less doing it all the time? The reason I don't is because the damages number isn't fact yet.

That's not my claim. I've just said you've not produced a single post that I recall expressing ANY regret for the actions of our union against pilots they represented. Instead you stated that ALPA would drag this out for years because you "guarantee" ALPA has the deeper pockets. The irony is amazing. You tout the same tactics used by corrupt management to dodge the aftermath of their mistakes.

I am glad to hear you say that you think ALPA's actions were despicable here. I've never heard you say that before.

I know that group think and being popular is important to you ALPA apologists, but it couldn't hold a lower priority to me.

Carl;
WRT to the TWA suit, I admit, I was not there when they negotiated certain things away before they were bought by AMR, and I have not read all the court case. For this reason, I cannot make statements on guilt, negligence, or what if any, the monetary settlements will be.

Where you there to know how all of that went down many years ago?

It may be just me, but unless you were part of their MEC, part of ALPA's legal team, or someone that was in the room, you(I, we) are not in a position to assign guilt.

Just my .02, and I will wait to see what the final outcome of this case is.

You don't need to worry about making statements about it. That's what judges and juries are for. They've made their statements and it is GUILTY. Now we move on to the monetary damages phase.

No I wasn't. But my opinion of guilt doesn't matter either.

You're right. That's what judges and juries are for.

New Negotiator's Notepad out on the status of negotiations with a very details breakdown.
