Dill,
Welcome to FT! Oh, sorry, they don't do that here. From one lurker to another, well done!

perhaps a different word would be in order and an apology to any Jewish folks who might post here.

Since Mr. Siegel is of Jewish extraction, I think the "Shyster" comment is totally and completely inapropriate.
Gee, I'm sorry, but it really doesn't matter what part of the country or world you happen to live in, it does matter what the dictionary defines the word to mean:
shy·ster
Pronunciation: 'shIs-t&r
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from German Scheisser, literally, defecator
Date: 1844
: one who is professionally unscrupulous especially in the practice of law or politics : PETTIFOGGER
The word is usually used to describe a shady attorney, and in no way delineates with, toward or near a particular religion or cultural slant.Â
Bob, do you absolutely, positively KNOW which religion Mr. Siegel practices, if any???
Since you're the self-appointed bastion, you might want to have that conversation with yourself.
With a great deal of sadness, I completely agree with fatburger. This management has gone insane. There's no respect for our product, our customers or the employees. What's left?fatburger said:I, for one, would love to see all unions come together to support the IAM and their ensuing battle with management. It's time to go toe to toe with Davey boy and the rest of the carpet baggers in CCY.
When management pulls the liquidation card on us we can't flinch. Not like the weak sisters of ALPA. (my union). I have the utmost respect for the AFA, IAM, TWU and CWA. Is anyone else tired of getting kicked around?
I just hope ALPA has the brass ones in their pants to pledge their full support for the IAM. I wouldn't count on it though.
peace.

I feel it is EXACTLY on target and you of all people should not be commenting on morals and ethics, right and wrong. You and Dave have common ground. You and I are as far apart as East is from West. I will not get personal, except to say: your opinions are erratic, coming from a self ordained ego that believes it's a pillar of knowledge, and these boards are where you find your self esteem, how sad indeed! You are a lost and confused soul.PineyBob said:I don't know about where you live Cavalier, but where I live the word "Shyster" is considered an anti-semetic remark.

See it's just like today, one of Rev. Donald Wildmon's group was arrested for kiddie porn. When you set yourself up as the moral arbiter then you'd best be squeaky clean yourself.
For me, this is the nefarious part of code-sharing and outsourcing. Although the passenger buys the ticket from U, U 'escapes' the responsibility they OWE THAT PASSENGER.mrplanes said:Lavman wrote: "Not to defend Dave, but niether of those crashes were US Airways planes nor maintaned by us or farmed out.
Air Midwest is owned by Mesa Airlines, flies as codeshare express partner
Colgan is a privately owned by the Colgan family flies as codeshare express partner."
Just for the record lav, the fatal Mesa 1900 accident has been attributed to a misrigging of an elevator cable during a maintenance procedure. That procedure was NOT performed by Mesa Airlines. It was farmed out (outsourced) to a maintenance firm whose name escapes me at the moment. We don't know the cause of the fatal Colgan accident but from what I have heard they outsource some of their maintenance also. You are correct these aircraft had nothing to do with USAirways other than being flown under our express contracts.
