And then there's this.

Alpa national and local representatives have angered their membership so highly in the political arena, when we need unity on an issue we can all get behind, we have nothing.

 

And Romney's cabinet would not have been all over this? He would have Bjorn over for a White House steak dinner, you would still be taking off your shoes for the TSA, AND FAR 117 would be a pipe dream, just like 2000-2008. My eyes are wide open, for the last 30+ years....every since Ronnie fired the controllers and Bushy vetoed the Dem Congress Eastern strike bill. I won't ever vote for a R in the big house. Never. BTW, you checked your 401 balance lately? paycheck stub? coincidence??

 

You can't say that. Projecting what would have happened under a Republican administration is impossible

 

Nope. Based on a little thing called history.

 

You miss the point, which is that the Dems talk the labor friendly talk when it's election time, then stab labor in the back. Clinton signing NAFTA ring a bell? This NAI thing is for all the marbles, and should be a no-brainer for a real labor friendly President, right?

The Fed pumping $65B a month into the markets has far more to do with the current rise (bubble?) than anything else.

 

Here is a little bit from an article on The Guardian UK online. This guy will make Lorenzo look like a saint. And our guys out flying the line are overwhelmingly clueless, complaining about their new uniforms and stuff. Or filing lawsuits in Houston.

Bjørn Kjos, NAS CEO

He claims politicians have yet to wake up to the opportunities that cheap air travel can bring: he thinks the numbers of incoming tourists add up to millions of jobs to be created in Europe. That far outweighs any race to the bottom in a few thousand airline employees' jobs, he said. "If I was a politician, I wouldn't give a sh*t about the airline side." In Europe, he said: "We've exported all our industry to the far east. At least we have a very good museum to show them, they will have to come spend money in our museum."


Oh yeah, and this:

Norwegian is Europe’s fourth-largest discount airline. Until recently, it was little known outside Scandinavia. Then, in 2012, Kjos made the largest airplane order in European history, buying 222 jets from Boeing and Airbus Group (AIR:FP) for $21.5 billion. Most of these are narrow-bodied Boeing 737 MAX8s and Airbus A320neos that will begin arriving in 2016. Kjos will use them to increase Norwegian’s presence in Europe and challenge the top three discount carriers: Ireland’s Ryanair (RYA:ID), Britain’s EasyJet (EZJ:LN), and Germany’s Air Berlin. Last year, Norwegian acquired its first two Dreamliners, which list for as much as $289 million each. Kjos is using these wider-bodied jets to offer cheaper international flights to distant places such as New York, Los Angeles, and Bangkok, undercutting established carriers in Europe and the U.S. Norwegian’s $180 tickets between New York and Oslo cost 10 percent of the equivalent ticket on British Airways. In effect, Kjos wants Norwegian to become a global version of Southwest Airlines (LUV).

 

History? If you want to bury your head in the sand, then do it, but don't overlook what this DEMOCRAT President is CURRENTLY doing and try to throw a smoke grenade with charges of Republican behavior of the past. Disgusting!

 

How's "FOX" doing?

 

republicans and democrats are two wings of the same bird. elitist scum.

alpa is helpless against any of this imho.

 

What is he doing? Making us RICH? The 401 has TRIPLED and the W2 is 60% higher. Cha freaking CHing Baby. WHOOO HOOOO
