A bit? The place is unhinged.

Haven't people faced disciplinary actions because of the line?

It should come back as "The Auction Block." TT and schedule stuff only; maybe another section for upgrade/recurrent info too.

You have to have things people can vent about in order to attract them to come and post about stuff that actually helps

The traffic throughput was pretty high for a targeted group, a legit question could be answered within an hour on the fleet forums for example

If you ignore the dirty dozen or so on there it gets a lot better, also just stick to the general and fleet specific subs

I found the The Line useful in my short time here. I'm a little bit of a forum junkie though and am good at sifthing through the BS to find something I need (I will say I was floored at the amount and the content of the political posts that were allowed). That said, I have never and will never post there since it would publish my name. I don't do FB, twitter, instagram, etc for the same reasons. I'd much rather everyone just move their crap over to APC.

Retirees don't need to be posting in any sections other than those specifically relating to retirement issues. There is a lot of good information available there for retired and those on MDSB. The other sections can be good for active members but it needs serious moderation.

WRT not paying dues, about the only value I got from APA over 20 years was from Aero Medical. Marsha and Kathy are worth their weight in gold. Other than Medical, I figure I'm upside down on the dues to value equation.

The only good part about that kind of forum is that douchebags out themselves so you know who to avoid.

There were times when there was useful information on The Line, like that Surgery Plus fiasco.

Well, they do suck. Tough to hear the truth sometimes.

🤣 haha, ah man.. yea, can do without the cannons. On a side note, is there any way to see the progress of the ALPA card drive? I've talked with numerous captains about it who had no idea a drive was even taking place. Whoever started the drive is really not doing a good job of getting the word out.
