At least they are in Vegas. :rolleyes:

He and another politician use the same speech writer. Where was the line about him leading the pilots of the world into the light?

Lets hope... 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!':)

I'd like to know what it cost us for the big wigs to be in Vegas for this little bit of excitement. Anyone got any idea what we spend on one of these essential get togethers? From what I've heard it's similar to an AIG meeting on a smaller scale.

ALPA in trouble
 

ALPA is in big trouble...or is it the members that are in big trouble? Just heard from a very reliable source that the ALPA NCF is below allowable limits. It states in the bylaws that a trigger to increase the members dues has been reached. Prater hasn't acted on it yet. I'm sure he will. We can thank Prater in his infinite socialistic wisdom for that one. Maybe they need a paycut like we all took? Only a suggestion.
