No matter who is in the NC chair, whether they present a TA or NOT to the membership, they will always get heat from us, because it's easy and it's free to criticize, and because we can, it's entertaining.

The way I see it, as long as they do what they are supposed to do, which is to negotiate the best possible contract, they can do all the frggng ALPA drops the want, all the refusals they want and eat all the steaks they want. It's a sh1-t job as far as I know, I'm glad there is people that WANT to do it.

Not so much. It's just that a lot of us have already seen this movie and know how it ends. I won't ruin it for you, and deprive you of your journey from optimism to anticipation, to exasperation, to suspense (we have a TA, you'll get details shortly), to disbelief (I waited four years for this?), to terror (when the NC turns that loaded .357 we gave them on its own membership), back to disbelief (when the NC threatens to quit if you vote no), to acceptance. Enjoy the ride!

Did you bow to the social pressure brought on by the media induced "crisis of the day", or did APC change your avatar for you?

None of the above, just decided to mix it up and fly the Bonnie Blue for a while. It was just coincidental timing to have the Battle Flag up right before the latest national hurt-feelings crisis, though. It'll be back, eventually. The real tragedy, innocent folks getting murdered in their church by a maniac, sure was abandoned by the media for their flag burning party!

That is a real crock of sh1t! Put yo flag up if you want it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And that dirtbag that shot up the church does NOT represent us good Southern folk. He will burn in h3ll for eternity while the Devil peels his skin. Okay, back to some good ol' NC bashing.

Check out the history of the Bonnie Blue flag, my Southern-fried friend. Just rotating the stock. Now, it's time for days off. If you'll excuse me...

Oh, I know the history, it's just that Miss is a little too far west for my liking! . Enjoy your time off, I'm off to watch that vid.

so with the chief pilots message about the efb, can we use them to look up manuals? And how are we to get familiar with how they work if we can not use them? I thought we just could not rely on them, I.e. You still take out and use your charts and use those as primary reference. I mean after October 10 are we still going to have to carry our charts as a backup while we use the efb? Or will we magically be fully proficient on October 10 and no longer carry our pubs while trying to figure out how the efb works for the very first time?

They can be used, in fact it's encouraged to use them, just not on the flight deck.

Use them for your home study.
