I think not, even if $TRUMP goes to zero. As a taxpayer, I was forced to be a stakeholder in Solyndra, as an Individual I will lose nothing even if $TRUMP goes to 0. Facts and all |

Government is unilaterally canceling union contracts & our union brothers are applauding it. File that under “this is why we can’t have nice things”. I certainly have my opinions about the size & scope of TSA but the administration’s (dis)regard for organized labor is discouraging.
Remember we’ll be at the negotiating table again in a few years & possibly trying to claw back some purchasing power from the tariff economy. Question: do you think this move creates an environment that empowers labor or management? |

Are you butt hurt because I pointed out your poor math skills and/or purposeful lies. If you have to embellish to prove your point you are already losing. |

You don’t see a problem with the fact that TSA has more people doing full-time union work than performing screening functions at 86% of our airports? Is that productive? A good use of tax payer dollars?
I believe there’s a section in Flying the Line that talks about the risk to our union’s strength of pilots who make enough money to start thinking they have more in common with management than labor. Make no mistake we will always be grunts pulling levers to them & they dream of the day they can do the same thing to our contract & start paying us what they think we’re worth. (Spoiler: it’s less than we’re making now.) Again, I’d ask my union brothers & sisters- which side of the negotiating table is feeling empowered by this move? |

Guys, TDSers and MAGA, we are hemorrhaging TRILLIONS of dollars every year. We can’t keep this up. Eventually lenders won’t lend the Government any money and we can only print so much before inflation goes insane.
I honestly don’t care if we go into a recession or not. We cannot sustain this level of spending. Governments have gone “bankrupt” before, the Weimar, Argentina, Greece. It can happen here too. A recession is temporary. Losing our position as the dollar being the worlds reserve currency would be devastating and take decades if ever before we could get it back. There is more at stake than KCM and USAID and China is nipping at our heels. |
Not that many pilots take the time to read about our own history, but in Flying The Line, author George Hopkins lamented (many years ago) about airline pilots' tendency to align themselves with the Republican Party to their own detriment. Many among us like to view themselves as something other than skilled, front line, hourly paid workers who rely on the ability to bargain collectively for their protection and prosperity. Too many of us look down on other organized labor groups and even cheer on their being "put in their rightful place." History gives us many examples of the right wing giving us our own slap down, or at least turning a blind eye to the likes of E.L. Cord and Frank Lorenzo doing the honors. If you're wondering, "Who dey?," you owe it to yourself and our profession to find out.
Hopkins also authored a lesser known piece titled, "Comeuppance." It's quite blunt, and a good read. |
