I have a feeling the Company will come down very hard on sh!t like this. Totally unprofessional.

Hmmmmmm I wonder what group could be putting those in the airplanes. I wonder how management would react to having writeups in the real logbook to have them removed.

The irony of the situation is that if one of these guys runs afoul of the CPO, his first call will be to his ALPA rep to un-fuxxor the situation.

And they'll do it with a smile, since that's what your reps do.

As will a DPA rep if a former ALPA insider stepped on his schwantz. Because reps work for pilots...not DPA or ALPA.

Fair enough. I'm sorry if you felt anyone was too forward. My experience is that you don't change hearts and minds by being too forward.

Looks like that's stuck behind a panel out of normal view. I actually think that's hilarious. Somebody made a sticker of the DPA symbol upside down and a slogan to indicate crashing and burning. It was witty and pretty darn funny (I have to admit) when I found it in my cockpit. I wasn't offended by the humor. But I'm pretty old school. I remember the days when a cockpit was a plethora of hidden pictures that would make Jesse proud!

Free Jesse!

As desperate as the ALPA rent-a-mob lying about the actions of fellow pilots?

Carl, I already called you out once and put dinner on it. Care to raise the stakes or are you just gonna ignore facts and pontificate as usual? Call RT in the NYC CP office and ask if they have complaints about DPA harassment. Better yet, ask if he has seen video. You won't, cause you know you're wrong.

You couldn't call out a phone booth dude so relax with the Dirty Harry imitation.

An allegation of wrongdoing has been made by the ALPA rent-a-mob here. Yet there's not been a peep from Delta management at any level. Until then, it's yet another smear from the mob. We're quite accustomed to it.

I guess you could argue putting stickers on the chart clip is out of sight if you had a chart on it. You may not see it where you fly but they make these maintenance guys come in an clean off the graffiti from the chart clip. Some maintenance guy overseas is going to find a repetitive check tag under the 10-9 that the last guy left on the clip and not understand it. I don't think it's any better than the DPA stickers at the old T3 lounge that got stuck on the glass door and the ALPA TV. That funny DPA bag with the kryptonite bicycle lock was probably ok.

It's not an allegation when you have proof. Why do you think the DPA guys in JFK were suddenly up in the terminal today? Instead of the lounge?

You have nothing but an Internet character's allegation. Not a peep from management at any level.
