Ok, so you are answering for Qotsaautopilot. Are you one and the same or just really close buds?
I would say we are more soulmates. 2 stars, random in creation, but somehow found are way to one another.


Seriously...that's a clown question, bro

Clearly there are more sides to this story. But how do the new people around here seem to know only one version of the story, and not even the complete story of the "truth" they were told?

What is the letter we are speaking of? How did it come about? How do non ALPA people know about it?

I'll tell you again, you guys keep on fighting my shadow and the pilots who are tired of your elitist management style are going to take away your throne. I'm seriously trying to give you good advice, You have a much larger problem than one DFW Captain who invites DFW based pilots to socialize. Do with that info as you may.

Officially the best thread I've ever posted on.

Take it easy man it's the Internet.

Big raises, I real retirement, no PBS(only because its a staffing tool and no other reason), real LTD, better reserve rules with long call, and last but really first, SCOOOPPPPEEE!!!

I don't care if you are a 26%er or an Alpa imperialist. If you want what I want then we are on the same page. Now stop taking the Internet so seriously and go get a Dominican girlfriend like the rest of the 26%ers

As well, you've always chosen spoken word over print- maybe you've got a good reason for it- but it often comes across as secretive and withholding; the entire MEC is that way and it leaves a bad taste in the pilot group's collective mouth.

If there's a good explanation, we'd love to hear it.
I'm not a big fan of anonymous boards, and Herb and Rich kicked me off yours long ago. I imagine the MEC prefer the spoken word for the same reasons, but I'm not on the MEC. I fly and testify in arbitrations mostly. As you said in the end of your original post; there really is "nothing to see here".

Remember, all this recent discussion started because LEC 77 refuses to hold a vote, allowed by the Bylaws, in DFW, where the majority of 77 members are based. Addressing the clear inpractability of many of us flying to LAS is what voters expect their elected representatives to do. Plain and simple. Refusing, dismissing, maneuvering, has only made it worse. Hey, how about giving us our own Council? Then y'all can get rid of us easily....

Can't wait.... I knew the ALPA attempt to stop free flowing communication would fail.

This isn't about personal attacks. We've met and I think you're a nice guy who speaks well and presents his opinion articulately. I just disagree with much of what your previous MEC attempted to do and strongly support our current leadership. I also disagree with the divisiveness being spread to many of our newest pilots. Our current MEC is guilty of poor branding and that vacuum allows this divisiveness to fester. I feel this agitating has more to do with settling old political scores and sour grapes than bettering this pilot group and it's sad new pilots are being brought into it under some other pretenses.
