She should have left her inner schoolmarm at the door. :rolleyes:

Well that's all well and good, but she is in control of the process.

Gurly D Ladytooth and the drivel machine!!

The NMB's role is to facilitate a fair agreement between 2 parties. At what point in time did applying pressure to labor through public insults in order to accept a pro-management agreement become part of their mandate? How is this impartial in any way?

Take into consideration the party that is in power at the moment. If you believe they are labor friendly, I have some land to sell you.

Yelling at the referee is a low percentage play if you want to win the game. They are allowed to set the rules by federal law. Either learn to maximize your gains within those rules or just pound your head against the wall. Another low percentage play.

Apparently, yelling at the membership and calling them rocket surgeons is also a low percentage play. :p

The NMB is not there to generate a fair agreement. They are there to prevent a work stoppage.

Okay, so what does that have to do with anything? We are where we are now and we have to find a new way forward. Or maybe you just want to stir up the pot because you have no skin in the game.

He was just referring to your group's poor sales job of an inadequate product last summer. You shouldn't take your failure and overwhelming disapproval from the entire Delta pilot group so personally.

It's not her "inner schoolmarm" but rather her inner flight attendant that is coming out. NMB Chairwoman Linda Puchala was the International President for the AFA prior to being appointed by Obama to her chairmanship.

As I said before, we're doomed. Another pilot hater. 😊
