Adjust your enthusiasm commensurately and simply row against the stream. We fly, they manage. Remember?

As an aside, last week a guy showed me an iPhone pic which he took of an Airbus cowl. It was mangled to the tune of 700,000 dollars (so he claimed). He told me that it was the THIRD one in a month which had been damaged at DCA.

He also claimed that the guy was told to submit a urine sample. At this point, The Duke of Hazard grabbed his lunch pail and walked off the job. Have the rampies in DCA been "sourced"? Interesting that the company now uses the word, "sourced", as opposed to outsourced. They really do think we're stupid.

I'm glad that my stingy APU use is saving so much money. Sounds like maintenance needs it.

There are more Dukes to be found on Craigslist. Now if we could just start coming up with some pilots on there too.

Disheartening and unmotivating for sure, but slowing the operation down in protest only makes the case against them that much stronger.

How would like it of someone *****ed about your enthusiasm? I guess you flew an on time machine during the summer of love? How quick are you to toss a fellow unionized work groups under the buss. Did you supply Chin the logon for the forum?

IIRC, when UCH had that quarter where they bled money and everyone else printed it, didn't J-Lo partly blame "sourcing costs" had risen? Or something.

Just curious as to what the EWR rampers hope to accomplish with their slow down?
