2015 Pilot Discussion.

It's going to be fun to watch if they do.

Yup

Stagnation shifts East.

 
"Stagnation shifts East."...? Seriously? Umm...OK...Sure thing. Well, perhaps given that "the world's largest airline" must needs clearly see PHX as the "Jewel in the Crown", who knows?...Right?
 
"Shirley" "you'se" at least have yet another "T-minus" countdown clock to offer us all for at least some decent preperation of impending doom?...No? I can assure that thsoe I fly with, many soon to bid captain, would like to know exactly when their hopes and dreams will be "righteously" shattered from the likes of "you'se" taking their seats?....Can you even give me a hint as to what I should tell them?

Press your luck...proceed as usual..............

 
OK. That works for me. Always has. Always will.
 
"My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.”
 General Thomas J. Jackson.
 
Now then, about your petty little nic/"spartan" nonsense, "you'se" were saying?

(a) Duties of officers; exculpatory provisions and resolutions void
The officers, agents, shop stewards, and other representatives of a labor organization occupy positions of trust in relation to such organization and its members as a group. It is, therefore, the duty of each such person, taking into account the special problems and functions of a labor organization, to hold its money and property solely for the benefit of the organization and its members and to manage, invest, and expend the same in accordance with its constitution and bylaws and any resolutions of the governing bodies adopted thereunder, to refrain from dealing with such organization as an adverse party or in behalf of an adverse party in any matter connected with his duties and from holding or acquiring any pecuniary or personal interest which conflicts with the interests of such organization, and to account to the organization for any profit received by him in whatever capacity in connection with transactions conducted by him or under his direction on behalf of the organization. A general exculpatory provision in the constitution and bylaws of such a labor organization or a general exculpatory resolution of a governing body purporting to relieve any such person of liability for breach of the duties declared by this section shall be void as against public policy.

(  Violation of duties; action by member after refusal or failure by labor organization to commence proceedings; jurisdiction; leave of court; counsel fees and expenses
When any officer, agent, shop steward, or representative of any labor organization is alleged to have violated the duties declared in subsection (a) of this section and the labor organization or its governing board or officers refuse or fail to sue or recover damages or secure an accounting or other appropriate relief within a reasonable time after being requested to do so by any member of the labor organization, such member may sue such officer, agent, shop steward, or representative in any district court of the United States or in any State court of competent jurisdiction to recover damages or secure an accounting or other appropriate relief for the benefit of the labor organization. No such proceeding shall be brought except upon leave of the court obtained upon verified application and for good cause shown, which application may be made ex parte. The trial judge may allot a reasonable part of the recovery in any action under this subsection to pay the fees of counsel prosecuting the suit at the instance of the member of the labor organization and to compensate such member for any expenses necessarily paid or incurred by him in connection with the litigation.

(c) Embezzlement of assets; penalty
Any person who embezzles, steals, or unlawfully and willfully abstracts or converts to his own use, or the use of another, any of the moneys, funds, securities, property, or other assets of a labor organization of which he is an officer, or by which he is employed, directly or indirectly, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.

"Just like you're stuck in PHX for years to come."
 
I'm less certain of that sir, but only time will tell. I can see a number of ways this could develop, many far more time-consuming than others, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'd say at least two more years, but that's fairly safe, even given relatively unimpeded SLI "progress"....Meanwhile of course, while suffering all those east system bids and "feeling the pain" of the west, we'll just have to watch and see. Oh well. perhaps it's again time for another "spartan" soothsayer to lecture all present on "karma"...?  Sigh....I must honestly note that I've NEVER before encountered a more truly stupid, or at least wholly naive group of supposed "professionals" than are to be readily found within "sparta" in my entire life. It's a fine thing for many of them that mommy bought them their licenses to become "pyluts" and they amazingly found jobs as such at even AWA, lest they'd otherwise have been easily eaten up as no more than bait fish by the larger world long ago.
 
Disclaimer to the above: As previously, and many times noted, my rantings of that sort are always exclusively directed to the "heroic" junior league of wannabe "spartans", "knights"/"dire wolves"/whatever, and never to the many decent, "elderly" Captains in PHX that I've had the pleasure of speaking with, nor any actually sane First Officers of "theirs."  No group of people's ever entirely stocked with nothing more than village idiots and perpetual children.

You said the key word.....TIME.  The clock just keeps on ticking.

Indeed end of alpa, but we're merely men who live in the real world, deal with the present, the actual and even the reasonbly possible, and thus, well...it's difficult for the likes of ourselves to truly understand and empathize with the "mind" set of self-ascribed "spartans"/"knights", etc.  Latest case in point from a many years now, confined to PHX person: "Let them think they are smarter than everyone else."

 

[EastUS1]

Let them think they are smarter than everyone else.

 
Just a bit of kindly offered wisdom "EastCheats":  Having had the privelege of highly trained and specialized sport competition at the World level, and I'll ungenerously venture an honest guess at far more "dramatic" events than you'll likely ever see as well; one NEVER needs be "smarter than everyone else"...but simply more intelligent and able than one's immediate opponents (or even sometimes, just plain lucky)...and frankly, from all of your posting history, well, you needn't fantasize yourself having either the "intelligent" or "able" advantage...so that sadly just leaves "you'se" with: "Do you feel lucky?"..."Well...Do ya' punk?"

My apologies per the earlier reference to prose worthy of the Bard himself. I'd no idea of the actual "depths" of elegant expression the laughable likes of "you'se" were tragically limited to...and I'll now retract even the high school estimation of established "intellectual achievement." Thanks for the always predictable laughs, but I must now ask of the reading public if any know of an internet equivalent of the Heimlich, which might even possibly save "you'se" from now apparently choking to death on your own, inept and wholly pathetic BS?

"A touch! Yes, I do confess it!" "You'se" may now resume chairing your local MENSA chapter meeting of "spartan" sea sponges...."dude"....
 
"Let them think they are smarter than everyone else."...? Hmm....(a moment's point of properly registered concern happening here/never underestimate your foe/etc)....If that's truly indicative of a long-established and indeed VERY clever ploy on "you'se" part to simply pretend to complete stupidity, well, I must admit that you've now got me just where you want me, in my generally presuming you to be an utterly hopeless, village idiot.  Umm...In order to properly prepare myself and others for the subtle devastation to unquestionably come: Just when will the "smart" part from "sparta" ever come out?

 

[luvthe9]

You keep dragging this guys name around. I'm not him. You have no proof what-so-ever who I am. Tell you what chubbs. I'll buy you free pizza for a year if you can offer any proof I'm who you think. You'll need the free pizza after your fellow Phoenicians send your ass into bankruptcy. You have nowhere to hide anymore Courtney, you're a pathetric POS that's getting what he's owed.

I'm not Courtney, Doyal

 

[luvthe9]

Back at ya, DS.  Looking forward to the future watching you guys keep stepping on your "dycks"!!!

Ah, go easy on poor Dave after all he help destroy the careers of the west pilots, great job representing your pilots, they should be taking you to court.

What's new...

Once again another "unified" unity Union is being sued due to their history of manifest disunity and partisan unequal treatment... (Gasp)

And the West is self-reporting they are really on the verge of an imminent windfall of epic proportions... for real this time... (Gasp)

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Pretty much. I'm all for the TWA folks attacking the swine at APA for what they did, although I expect no real and at all meaningful results from that, save to perhaps tie up the timeline a bit more. Per the west?...Well....to my full discredit; I'm nowadays left just playin' with them for purely sick amusement. My only excuse for that's their nearly eight years now of incredibly mindless and utterly infantile arrogance, I suppose.
