This is the kind of thing that damages your credibility here RBF. Think real hard...is there no other way someone could experience John Malone's goal setting, communication, and leadership skills except by being a Delta pilot? Think real hard. I'll give you a hint: Both NWA and Delta were ALPA represented airlines.

Think just a little bit before you post.

You are the most arrogant condescending "person" I have ever seen in my life.

 

Exactly how was Jerry dishonest about his post? Please show a single word or inference that was dishonest. Here it is again for your review:

Now don't go radio silent again Alfa, where was Jerry dishonest?

I wish it were not true but ALPA can never be fixed.

Look at theALPA presidential election. Could Tim Canoll be any more out of touch with reality? He lives in another universe.

Read the October issue of ALPA magazine. It has one of those cool double pictures where you get to find all the mistakes.

Makes us feel better about needing a 20% increase to hit hourly rates that.are over a.decade old.

Who needs medical insurance.when ALPA provides a monthly suduko!!

 

Not a single thing you wrote in your post adressed my question.

 

Was that during the Delta bankruptcy?

Good, so you supported John Malone's performance...or at least can't be critical of his performance.

Pure speculation and BS on your part Alfa. You haven't a clue of what we would have thought had we been here.

You just said that even you couldn't criticize John's performance. Now you call him a false god? Man you are one fickle dude.

Like I said to Rather B Fishin, you don't have to fly for Delta to know another union leader's leadership style. I know you know that, therefore your claim's to the contrary ring of a guy trying to disqualify someone else because their factual correctness makes you queasy.

I hope you aren't surprised at that.

 

First of all, you and I have never met or spoken. Therefore you can't GUARANTEE anything. Second, I've had some terrific talks and debates during transcon jumpseat trips with former south guys. Even the guys who are DALPA supporters provided great thoughts and respectful debate. No "pontificating" from either side.

It's exactly the same, but you knew that too. I always throw on a headset, adhere to the crew brief and become an extra set of eyes and ears throughout the flight. I talk and we share stories. I covet the Milanos and Kit Kat bars, and provide the perfect alibi in case someone farts. If that's not the same as working together, I don't know what is.

Yes, the 747 is entirely different. We actually utilize a different atmosphere when we fly.

Corporate office environments are definitely different. That's for sure.

Carl

 

I remember that! What a great flight. If I recall correctly, we both "pontificated" about the impending wedding of your daughter.

So when are you gonna ride my jumpseat? 14 hours isn't nearly as bad as it sounds.

I don't disagree with you Dorfman. Tim definitely made mistakes. But his biggest one was not understanding that the main goal of the Special Committee was to personalize DPA as one individual...namely Tim. It was a terrible embarrassment for DALPA to know that at one time, 5,800 delta pilots (majority south pilots) sent in a card. It was imperative for DALPA to deflect that embarrassment by ignoring the fact that DPA meant 5,800 Delta pilots, and instead re-define DPA as the personal grudge by one crazy person against ALPA. Tim had to know that was going to be the tactic, but he was unable to defend against it. In fact, he played right into it.

It's not the number of posts as much as it is the content. The vast majority of your posts have been strongly pro-ALPA...as I'm sure mine have been against. That's all I was saying.

And I appreciate you for the respectful debate.

Carl
