And the second half of his question, would you vote no to the entire contract because of the two things you mentioned?

At some point we all need to become "single issue voters", because otherwise, we get nibbled to death.

By the way, to be in the top 1% of earners in 2010, you had to make over $380,000.
Isn't that the goal? Become part of the 1%!

I have a couple of single issue no votes. I have NEVER had that before, but I certainly do now.

I agree 100%. I was just painting ACL into the corner he conveniently avoided by not answering Carls full question. We all know the answer anyway so it was just to point out that we see what's going on.

Bucking Bar, I haven't seen or heard of anybody suggesting they "despise" anybody making over $100,000 a year (maybe the commentators on whichever new channel you watch?). Just frustration about the growing gap between the haves and have-nots.

The frustration with well-paid management as you are left fighitng over the scraps seems like a pretty clear parallel with the Occupy Wall Street crowd. This isn't an insult, just an observation.

I'm always suspicious of the causes that George Soros fronts and his fingerprints are all over this. Code Pink and United for Peace and Justice are two of the heaviest hitters in the worldwide protests and they're both funded by Soros and his Open Societies Institute. Thus the complete lack of empathy on my part.

Wow. Two lies in two sentences. You haven't the smallest idea of how Lee Seham does things anywhere. You're just making it up...and it shows.

Regarding me crossing a picket line to kill NWA mechanics, I crossed NO picket lines. Our union (you know, you're beloved ALPA) said we had no legal rights to honor their strike without being in violation of the RLA among other things. I know you know this already, you're just doing what you normally do...lie and distort to keep people from talking about what you want kept silent. Fail!

That would be right except the topic was gauging pilot opinions BEFORE any TA to ratify. As I said earlier, there is only one way to do that - a survey done by an independent entity, compiled by an independent entity, and whose data is released immediately after compilation.

It's certainly not how they've validated some LOA's and scope cave-ins outside of Section 6.

Unless you were in the room, you don't know what you're talking about concerning AMFA.
