The meeting I made it to was the SLC LEC meeting in early June. It was held not long after the TA was put out, so I'll acknowledge there were more likely to be guys wanting to vent than a standard LEC meeting. We can still be grown ups when we disagree with each other or come across issues that we don't like.
I think emotions are running high as of late, especially after reading some of Mullis's daily proverbs. We are seeing a lot of overreaction on both sides, but I typically figured a lot of that existed here on the inter webs. I would've thought meetings would still be some what more cordial, but after watching the peach tree city rant, I guess anything is possible.

One of the reasons I stopped coming to this place, is we say we're for open dialog but we're not. If you don't agree with the echo chamber your some sort of ___________ (fill in the blank)
Vaginis???

(Not sure if that was rhetorical or not)

Downside of social media I guess. Going into the vote on C15 a SWA guy asked me how I thought it was going. I said I couldn't tell if it was Arab Spring or just Occupy Wall Street.

Happy people don't post and only an idiot responds on social media, just say'en.

PS. I guess that makes me an idiot:D

And some people even do all 3. :D

Speaking of which, those freezing cold 717s from airTran even in the summer... yeah evidently that got fixed... how's that ac on the bus? :D :D
Like Ferd pointed out ....there are those who seem to gravitate to the office/training/union gig. There are some guys that have been doing one or more of these almost continuously since I was a new hire. I'm glad there are guys out there that want to do those things because I don't want to do it (been there and just want to be a crew dawg). The problem (speaking from personal experience) is that when you do it too long, you tend to lose touch and perspective with the line. There are some good non line people doing good work out there..but I think our union leadership has lost touch.

I agree with all of that.

Ever notice that with the office/cube types, there is always a chickie-poo somewhere in the background, sorta like a stage mom......

For the second part- have you ever actually worked an office job? I mean a real no-flying, grind out admin all day office job? It sucks. The line at Delta on it's worst day on the MD-88 doing 5 legs a day into ATL in summer is better than any office gig.
I did. But I abused the swivel chair privileges(I was always dizzy:p), so I had to come back to flying.
