Someone should make t-shirts or bumper stickers with this cool phrase. What a total IDIOT!

How about you clean house with the MEC board and get rid of these arrogant jack holes?

Ha. Not me. That was from his fb.

We should see if anyone from Reston liked that comment too.

Speaking of 744s,got a little show out atlanta yesterday with 3 back to back 747 departures in close succession. Cathay 748, Delta 744, Korean 744. Never seen that in atlanta.

I've never worked for, volunteered for or had any affiliation with Alpa whatsoever (other than being a member and contributing to the PAC) but if it makes you feel better to label anyone that might disagree with you as such, have at it.

Bash away at the guy all you want, but you don't see the logic of leaving the discussion about an aircraft incident/accident off these pages?

I missed it; is he banned or just called out?

fartboxflyer 07-18-2015 07:37 AM

This guy is on the 88 no fly list. Agree with everything he says,and the trip will be fine. Disagree and, well you can probably guess.....:mad:

Publicly insulting fellow employees on social media is surly a company policy violation.

LOL

And he (along with some others) were going BANANAS when one called them out for being mgmt mouthpieces, too!

Holy hypocrites, batman. :eek:

This.

Sooooo, Mullins was SharpestTool, who was on these boards pro-actively pushing the TA in direct contradiction to Donatelli's solemn promise not "to sell the TA".

Who else of the sunshine pumpers can be ID'd??

This might be a lot more truthful than it is supposed to read.

scambo1 07-18-2015 08:54 AM

Step back everyone and consider the biggest picture you can consider about what the individuals at the top of DALPA are doing right now. Now ask yourselves, "why are they doing that?"

It might be illuminating.

First of all, whomever disparaged stocking on weapon and ammo will be the first one eaten after the Zombie Apocalypse. Secondly, the DPA communications director, TC, sure hasn't covered himself in glory in the last couple of years. Thirdly, OMG! These guys are seriously pushing me to send in a card!

Grumble 07-18-2015 03:06 PM

Wow, I just went through that Mullis guys Facebook page. What a collosal douche bag of epic proportions. His wife too. The comments from him, his wife (*** is she doing making snide comments about Delta pilots?) and his cheerleading squad are mind blowing. Convinced he's the smartest guy in the room, wow.

The negative stuff you hear bandied around about TC and DPA is a direct result of a DALPA/ALPA smear campaign. Those who know him and have flown with him would tell you he's a stand up guy trying to get better representation for this pilot group. He's been at a HUGE disadvantage vs megabucks DALPA (via your dues money) and DALPA's willingness to call mom (Delta management) to keep all DPA information off the property.

DALPA "Disparage TC" talking points:

- "TC only formed DPA to somehow start a lawsuit to gain seniority"

- "TC is just a disgruntled guy from Delta north...and we know they carry sour grapes"

- He's not in alignment with what DALPA says so he's a loony.

You probably recognize some of the same nonsense spewed toward the "Great 8" for standing up for a fair contract (what their constituents asked for).

Anyway, nobodies buying anything DALPA says anymore. The truth is coming out and there's not a damn thing DALPA can do about it.

If you get a chance to spend a little time in NRT or ICN, you'd be amazed. 767's come and go like Mad Dog's in ATL, and 777's, 747's, 380's are everywhere.

Not even close. TC sends out stupid emails that make him look like a jackass. The whole hacking episode too was all his doing. But the current buffoonery from the MD 11 is enough for me to almost overlook that If TC came out with a statement that he is leaving the leadership of Team Donut and would play no part in it if it won, I'd sign a card tomorrow.

Carl is President.

Newk is our lone Lefty Chicago guy and thus our VP of Strategic Collections and Reconciliations

80ktsClamp is the ban hammer bouncer.

Purple Drank is drink coordinator since dpa does not spend money on alcohol

FTB is VP of coloring.

Jerry is the DPA Investigation Chief and Director of Thread Starts

MtEverest just got here but is intriguing.

Deadhead reminds us what Lee Moak looks like.

Buzz keeps the secret files, in a brief case.

Bender Rodriguez is screen name confused who has done everything in his power to advance LGBT pay. Keep reaching for that rainbow you gator fans!

Strip Alert has failed to alert us to any stripping but we are standing by on ready alert.

GunshipGuy reminds of us a long lost friend who had some great, great posts. But that's before 80ktsClamp introduced us to porn on the internet. Like who knew that was there?!?!

I believe (or so I have been told) that he also said that he would cease and desist DPA organizing attempts if he couldn't get enough cards to force an election...four years ago.

Let me guess....if in the event a representation vote is actually held and the DPA wins, he will "reluctantly heed the call from his supporters" and "assume the mantle of leadership even though it is a sacrifice for my family" blah blah.

I guess DALPA shouldn't keep breathing new life into DPA then.

They've sure resuscitated the hell out of it in the past few months.

True, to a point. But it is easy to claim "my side will do better!" when "my side" is merely a concept and has not actually had to live and work in the real world.

Time will tell.

Time will tell.

There are 12,888 pilots on the seniority list and which of them "has not actually had to live and work in the real world".

Many of them have been thru much more than me and much worse than me, as I've only been thru 5 airlines, 3 airline bankruptcies, 2 unions, 2 organizing efforts, 1 furlough and 1 strike; so, all in all I've actually been fairly lucky compared to many.

What part of living and working in the real world are we actually not in?

This. ^^^^^^


I thought that the alpa guys in private would have a lot more substantive arguments for the TA then some of the weaker arguments put forth here prior to the TA, but no.

You bid LCA you're simply abusing the system and it needs to be fixed.

You ever called in sick? Abuser.

You push back against productivity changes that reduce pilots? You're costing the fpl guys money. You're an abuser.

And that's just all from fb. The more I read from fb the more i do believe our guys wrote the language in the TA on sick leave and oe lca and the company just went with it.

I think I read one comment from one of the big alpa guys on chit chat that he wants pilots here to be the most productive they can so we can go beat united or something.

But flight pay loss? Well, that's my right! I don't want to fly the line, the line sucks...

I guess the lustful focus on payrates at the expense of work rules makes sense if you're paid the rates but never work under the rules.
