If that's the case, they might just be using it as an excuse to find out who is running it.

Good point. What a low-life, low-brow way to use my dues...

Imagine if it is hosted or run by a management pilot or member of NK management?

I can understand that side of it.

However, I would just say this. It appears that 90% of the Spirit pilot board members are against the current MEC and local leadership (with the exception it seems of current FLL LEC reps), and with ALPA shutting it down, regardless if it comes back, only drives a greater wedge between any hope of unity moving forward toward C2015.

Plus, its one less place for Joey to post on....

I've been at NK a while and I've never joined the board. I've always preferred a non-anonymous web board for internal union/pilot group discussions. Until we get one, I'm stuck with apc.

I would like that too. Verified pilots and only pilots, names attached.

I am a member on the spirit board, but never have posted. To be honest, just too negative the majority of the time and too much "you dont know what you're talking about!!" Back and forth....pass

I honestly don't care either way, it was kind of depressing, everyone (a decent majority) were so negative it was exhausting

Yeah.. It was depressingly negative to the point that it would make the f*ckers over at flightinfo blush, but I'm always leery of any group trying to impose censorship. The big question... Why? If it wasn't a threat, or if their was nothing to hide, why try to shut it down? It doesn't make me trust the current regime.
