You've now identified yourself as an idiot Yes man. Hope you're happy.

I don't fight for the freedoms in this country just to let them go away without a wimper. Or in your case a cheer and hoorah.

Save your ultra conservative trash for the country club or your stock picking club.

Don't knock the fancy pants until you try them. Very comfortable.

Gunter,

Just more drivel from someone who lets Rush Limbaugh do his thinking for him!

[
Before Congress went into recess, language inserted in the Port Security Bill stated: (paraphrased) “…Any legal strike by transportation workers may be interpreted as an act of terrorism, and would allow the President of the US to mobilize the military”. The bill went on further to state (paraphrased) “…If any applicant to a transportation job has previously been a participant in a legal strike, that person can be denied employment because strikes by transportation workers can be interpreted as an act of terrorism”.

YES, READ IT AGAIN! This is just “a small part” of the continued attack on labor by this administration. Even though this was a Ports Bill, ask yourself; are WE transportation workers?

I am pleased to report that ALPA National Government Affairs, in concert with the Transportation Trades Department of the AFL-CIO, were able to get this language removed.This is what ALPA-PAC dollars do for us. They give us access to congressional leaders that are sympathetic to our issues. It may not be the best system, but it is what we have. We can either play the game, or sit on the bleachers and sightsee.[/QUOTE]


First off, I dont believe this would have held up in the courts.

Now, what has ALPA done for me lately.............

Taken my dues $, and allowed me to have approx 50% reduction in pay and benefits!

to put it mildly. Show some respect you RJ wonders.

Skygirl – get some flight time or get of this forum – it is for Airline Pilots not bitching, wining, liberal socialist like you.

Velocipede and mike734 – you call Bush and Rumsfeld criminals?
Typical democratic, union, spoiled child behavior. Let me guess – you
guys did not come through the military route?
I for one, agree with the proposal – ‘transportation workers’ like you should be arrested and charged as terrorist in case of a strike.
Its great when any sixteen year old with a computer can attempt to sound like an adult. The problem is its doesn't work! Its clear your not an ex-military Jet blue pilot. No one as dumb as you would be let near an airliner, let alone a weapon system.
Go back to your closet and play with your best friend. I'm sure as neurotic and socially retarded as you are, your only other "friends" are buried deap in the reassess of your warped, disturbed mind.
Go back to sleep.

I see - it is o.k. for you guys to insult the President and SECDEF as 'criminals'.
But as soon as someone disagrees with you all you have to offer are insults.
You run out of arguments so quickly and have to change the subject -(Skygirl) and fall for every little bit of provocation (arrest all of you).
How shallow.
As far as JetBlue is concerned, sorry dckozak, I am very close to one airliner and my customers love it. Weapon Systems - yep, I had plenty of firepower...

Now come on guys, give me some facts or ideas to argue about. Insults are so not challenging. It is always that way when we sophisticated, right wing, republican, conservatives try to talk to you liberal, socialistic, unionized brains of mush.

Gotta go, Rush is coming on...

I've always noticed that you right wing types always single out the girl to pick on. Gman, I changed the subject because most of your blather doesn't warrant a response. I have every right as an American to not respect Bush, just as your type didn't respect Clinton.

Comparing Clinton's lie about his sex life (who cares?) to the many serious lies we've been fed by the Bush administration is a no-brainer.

If you sued the president of your airline for sexual harrasment and he lied during a deposition would you have the same opinion?

Becuase that's what happened. Remember that Paula Jones sued President Clinton for sexual harrasment when he was Gov of Arkansas and she was a state employee. The entire Monica Lewinsky affair results from his perjury during depositions in this case.

I personally could care less if he had Monica three ways on his desk twice a day (any 50 year old that's getting it regular from a 20 year old gets a golf clap from me) BUT that's not the issue. Clinton commited perjury to prevent Paula Jones from getting justice and save his reputation.

Instead of blaming the terrorists, or mismanagement post 9/11, or the fact that you made a bad choice of companies to get hired by you blame ALPA.

I'm sick and tired of you crying morons that believe ALPA national has some secret silver bullet that can somehow change the bankruptcy court other than backing a pilot group to strike, which they've done when asked. Or trying to fix the bankruptcy laws as they pertain to us. You are just lookng for someone to blame for a bad situation, which we all agree it is.

And, on the other issue you're a supreme court scholar GMAFB

Interesting that the comments you close to respond to are 8 years old related to an ex-president. Not to diminish the point of your outrage, but your strangely silent on current events were as a sitting president, at the very least, has led our country into a poorly fought conflict where the best outcome doesn't even come close (to improving) the situation before it was started. And to top it off, its cost more money than any president has ever wasted, Republican or Democrat, for a result that is hindering national security and and our ability to project power and influence.
But I guess in your mind, Clinton's blow jobs are more catastrophic to the welfare of humanity.
