I guess you know she is one of your former pilots, great girl. I was in class with her. Guess were just tired of you guys %$#* it all up.
Yes, yes indeed: It is truly silly of us to not simply accept that "It's ALL about You" out west..and just all roll over and play dead for your exclusive benefit. Your "great girl" seems completely hysterical about not having her 4 AWA years instantly become worth..umm..what? = 22 or more out east? Yup..there's a "logical" reason for which to throw a fit. Sorry...not impressed. Keep those video links coming though. Outside of the "Gimmee!!..It's ALL about MEEEE!! crowd encamped under the AWA/ALpo banner..few will be impressed by much other than the audience's hysteria, and "righteous" anger.

You may well have a valid point sir. From the manifesto of AWA's "Righteous Position", as expressed by a major AWA "War" drum beater:
Leonidas: "I want the captain seat.....and most of all, I want every single east pilot to pay for it".
Exactly who's GREED are we actually seeing demonstrated? East beliefs are that none should be displaced out west. The west "battle cry" is clearly seen via: "I want the captain seat.....and most of all, I want every single east pilot to pay for it". If you're actually blind to the absurd hypocrisy of your "Greed" claims...just know that it's not lost on others outside of your little "ME!, It's ALL entirely about ME!!" cult. "There's this big cookie jar out east..and I WANT it ALL!!...NOW!!" just isn't any universally respectable notion..regardless of the self-deluded fantasies clearly held out west to the contrary.
Side thoughts on different issues:
"A 2002 law prohibits pilots from carrying their guns outside the cockpit without a trigger lock, and as a result they must frequently affix or remove trigger locks during flights.
That law and the TSA policy that goes with it may be responsible for a March 22 incident in which a pilot accidentally discharged his weapon on U.S. Airways Flight 1536 from Denver to Charlotte, N.C., said Mike Karn, security chairman of the Allied Pilots Association, the union that represents American Airlines pilots."
Hey!!...aren't in-house unions supposed to be worthless? Here's an APA guy quickly weighing in on a serious problem...Where's "Mighty Alpo" in all this?...Too busy putting out FUD?
The latest on the MDA DFR: Alpo: "As we have pointed out, the MDA plaintiffs’ claims about an allegedly “erroneous” seniority list are just not supported by the facts." This is going to really be fun to watch. Alpo: "Those guys were furloughed!!...They just don't count!!" Opposing: "Weren't they actually working though?..specifically at jobs you told them to take?..and without any reasons to assume themselves to then be dumped off your radar?....Alpo: "Ummm/squirm....That doesn't matter!!..They're furloughed and they just don't matter or count for anything!!" Opposed: "You were still taking their dues money, weren't you, and you never indicated to them that they could even possibly be totally disregarded by you....like you actually then did?" Alpo: Well, Naturally!!...what a completely stupid question!!...Harrumph!. Of course we took their dues money!! That's never meant that we really have had to actually represent anyone before!!...What's your point?" Over-simplified; yes..but this is going to be some really good grins to watch play out. Go get 'em MDA people!!
