An awful lot of "I's" for a post trying to manufacture a false sense of sacrifice. And my gosh, wayyyy too long.

Is that the latest desperation tactic from the embattled DALPA junta? "P2P guys--go out there and tell your story. Make it personal. And for God's sake, don't focus on the TA or its contents!"

I think the lurker can see how much how much FPL I get from the post you quoted. They can decide for themselves whether it was a good trade.

Way to bother reading the OP, wherein he used the "zealot" comment 1st.

Feel free to redirect your comment appropriately.

Really? There are some personal attacks on this board and when they cross the line we will delete them. Some probably sneak by undetected. We do not have the time or personnel to police every slight or criticism.

But if you are at all familiar with Web Forums you surely realize that this is one of the more civil forums. A lot more civil than Chit Chat which is surprising since that board is only DAL pilots and this board is anonymous.

Finally, do you think your post helps with the lack of civility?

You're welcome to take my place any time, and provide a better service, if you think my "sacrifice" is too false, or the rewards too high.

Sink,

Thanks for volunteering. I hope you will stay factual and not try to sell the TA.

Question - Who if anybody is representing the no voters among the MEC?

Will we get any balance from the MEC or the P2P guys, or will we only officially hear from the PRO-TA side?

They can indeed, Mr. Volunteer.

Actually, I didn't slam anyone. All I did was post what I believe represents a good visual analogy of someone else who simply responded to the OP's attempt to slam him. It backfired, as do your continued and unprovoked attacks on me.

I find it interesting that the MEC hand picked certain P2P pilots over others. I've been a P2P volunteer (zero FPL) since our 1996 contract vote, where I told pilots the truth about what a huge POS it was. I volunteered again in 2000-01 and again in C2012. I wonder why nobody from P2P contacted me for FPL this time?

Oh...I just looked at my schedule and guess what? I was OFF all the days of the MEC Meetings, the TA vote, and I'm off this week too, so they could have got me for Free.

Or maybe that's why I wasn't called?

I did see where some guy looked at my schedule about 10 days ago, some guy I don't know and he never contacted me. Maybe I'll call him and ask if he needs any more P2P volunteers, because next week I've got a 4 day trip I'd like to drop, with pay...

Oh, I've read the TA, and I've read the letters by the No voting LEC Reps, and I've read MD's letter, and I'm voting NO, but only because PHUCK NO probably won't be on the ballot.
