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?!?!

The End.

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.

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

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?

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.
