Feb / Mar 2013 US Pilots Labor Discussion

[end_of_alpa]

I guess this discussion probably belongs on the Water Cooler section, but I agree. By the way, your 401k and bank accounts are already being "raided" by the government. The Fed policy of low interest rates is robbing you of thousands every year in your accounts, and the funds you do have are constantly decreasing in buying power as new moneys are printed.

Again, sorry for this discussion on the pilot section. But your logic on our little union problems is spot on.

Greeter

While the water cooler sounds logical, this thread relates as a pilot union thread because we stand to lose the most. Having said that, yes, the low interest rates are certainly a big problem. Guns, Gold and Goods are the only real, tangible assets to own and our unions should be helping to get the money out of the governments hands and into our own.

I hope your right and things work out, but I believe we could have done better if we had more unity here.,

The Water Cooler is a great place to hang out when one gets bored with the debate waiting on developments.

Drop by Greeter, I'll buy the first round.

It has nothing to do with wishfull thinking and what the AMR pilots think won't change reality. You can try and change the seniority list, but you can't change the past or the reality that the AWA/US merger snapshot for seniority happened back when our merger happened. I know it's wishfull thinking for you the east that you can just take a current snap shot and ignore the arbitration, because it greatly benefits you. Good luck with that, I don't think the APA will touch that with a ten foot pole.

And I think you are dead wrong about that! Talk about "wish and hope". Separate ops then, separate ops now and separate ops until a completed JCBA, single carrier status and completion of the SLI process called for in the MOU.

There has never been and never will be an operational SLI between East and West or any integration of the "fleet metal" for that matter either. True or false?

It's going to be a three way, with the snapshot taken at the POR, because that's what we will have at the POR, three lists, three fleets and three contracts.

You got it all wrong, Phoenix. It's a list which shows the unity against a common threat to our seniority.

Can you buy "pink panties" with the insurance?

That has been discussed about 2 minutes into the video.

Very good point. What were the pink panties for.. wasn't that a move by some to "award pink panties" to pilots who flew over 85 hours while others were on furlough. If I recall correctly you thought it was a bad idea to highlight folks who were following the contract, even though in the eyes of some they weren't really rowing the same direction as everyone else in the boat, so to speak.

But I have to ask, regarding your avitar pic, are you promoting infowars.com or are you trying to lampoon it? If you have been sucked into that half baked nut fanaticism then your posts are starting to make more sense now.

Then why is there a deadline to be included on it?

Its a webpage for crying out loud, it would take about five minutes to set up a dynamic website with a donate now button that would automatically add your name to the list upon validation of your credit card gift, and it could be arranged in any oder you like... alphabetical, date of being added, or cumulative donation amount.

Just think about that... if the webpage was a dynamic list with the highest cumulative donors on top... you could have a dynamic donation war to be the highest donor... think of it as king of the hill with your credit cards.. a fight to be the "most devoted, and brokest AOL lover"

 

[cleardirect]

Here we go. In typical cowardly fashion usapa once again asks for a delay in having the court decide once and for all about the Nicolau list.

Why the delay boys? If you are so confident that you are right why not let the court make the decision? Why continue to run away?

Looks like the Jones letter had it spot on. usapa refuses to let the court put an end to this.

What are you afraid of east pilots?

I get it, if the source is not CNN, the government, or USAPA you don't believe it.

I demand you put "duh" back as your tagline. It is now a fixture on this forum. I cannot live without it. I might hire Marty to sue you.

I thnk it's set up fine. Easy to donate, either on a monthly or as desired schedule.

I agree with Greeter. Change the signature. It's looking a bit like Christmas.

Alex Jones is the epitome of what every tyrant would pay their enemy to be like. While some of his reporting is accurate, many of his claims are ridiculous and he incites otherwise normal, rational people to act like screaming imbeciles. You would be hard pressed to invent someone who does more harm to the things he pretends to support.

Jones is like an adult version of the Goat Shoap videos.
