Not really, i think only 2 of my posts referred to 9/11?

Who exactly has the fixation?

The thing about putting a guy on Ignore is that when someone quotes him, you still have to see his drivel. I see somebody has found another thread to annoy people. I created this button to provide easy access to the IGNORE feature:

Trump has every impetus to reverse the application, I can hear the sound bites now "We reversed the action of a secret muslim who was a total disaster and today we continue to make America great again".

For Clinton, the rhetoric would be toned down, but still an easy win to appear pro-worker.

With respect to today's reality, it's going to be all-telling to see if he walks the walk or is just another windbag politician.
The majority of Trumps cabinet are business leaders. Ask yourself if you think these CEO's are pro union or not? (Boeing moved a plant to SC to get around their Union) for example. What they say on camera is one thing, but what they truly want to "compete" is another.

Yes, that's what right to work means. You wouldn't have to be a union member, and you wouldn't have to pay. "Your workers rights."....Scabs.....

Thanks to the United MEC Comm for going on the air for this, on behalf of all APA/AA pilots.

We need to win this fight. Everyone needs to be contacting their reps, and DOT Secretary Elaine Chao.

Met a professional union lobbyist who told me to my face that Democrats do not consider airline pilots as labor and although we are in a labor union, they do not spend any effort representing us. the logic was that we earn far too much and they are more concerned about the Millions of union members making less than $50k a year (more votes) than a couple hundred thousand airline pilots making $100k+. Also was told since we are mostly military pilots, we are probably all voting Republican so another reason the Democrats don't support us. He said he's been told those exact things from Democrats in Congress.

But I know...lots of guys who pound their chest saying they are just an employee being screwed by management (which is true) but when you out-earn 95% of other workers in the worlds wealthiest nation, your plea falls on deaf ears.

Sorry guys..just the messenger.
