That is funny!

Not only do you refer to a nullified document, you also heard someone speculate about me being hired after the merger (which one?) and because I ignored them you now spout off like you know something. No wonder you are being fleeced by lawyers that have taken your cases to trial when it wasn't even ripe yet, twice.

..."we're just mental midgets..."

So, R-57, just to set things straight, let me get your own personal position on a couple of issues, such as the 3rd lister controversy, and directly related to that...whether the West's expectations should include the benefits the east has enjoyed the last 7 years...I want to know what your personal opinion is, R, not what you "think" will happen, not what the arbitrators will do...but what you think "ought" to happen...I'm calling on you to make a personal, ethical judgement on these matters, if you're capable...you too PT.

Now, since I fully expect you to evade that question, and I suspect PT doesn't have the guts to answer that question, I will appeal to any and all Easters out there to, if not disown your spokesman PT, to at least repudiate the efforts of he and R-57 to add insult to injury with this 3rd lister/West expectations controversy....Anybody?

Sure. But you first. This seems to really, really be getting you wrapped around the axle. Why?

wiggy

Just what I figured...ok R, you speak well when you say I seem to be wrapped around the axle...in fact I am not...I mean, this is all just gamesmanship, right? But if you were to simply ask why I care, the answer would be "principle". Good enough for you? Now, let's see if you can keep your word...your turn, R.

PurpleTurtle

Principle. Sure. You don't have a clue of the facts of what you are talking about, but you write volumes of encyclopedic posts because of your principles. Why don't you post ad nauseam about Enron, gays in Sochi, acid rain, global warming, and baby seal furs?

Wig. To be clear on something. There are no spokesman for the East here just as there are no spokesman for the West here! Just personal opinions!

wiggy

Good point, I lose track of that sometimes, thanks.

It is laughable that you guys seem to think this is rocket science....I know enough to have an informed opinion, and way more than enough to debate the ethical aspects with the likes of you. You see, I don't give a rat's a$$ whether you're a third lister or not, you have no scruples, and that's all I need to know....You take great amusement in repeatedly taunting fellow pilots you may have to work with one day, and "ad nauseum" goading seems to be your strong suit, your specialty, and is the sum total of what you contribute to the discussion about this controversy. You could care less about hosing a whole group of pilots you don't even know...And it's not even the Nic with you, it's your cynically motivated personal opinion that the third listers should go above the bottom west pilots. I'd wager your APC membership that you're in an extreme minority in holding that view among your peers, whomever they may be. It should give you pause to wonder why that may be the case...

In fact, I'd wager you don't express these opinions at all out on the line, it is only when you get behind a computer screen that your greed-motivated arguments come out...when you lose your grounding in ethical reality...

I gave you a chance to respond within the context of (somewhat) good-natured humor...You could have responded. "I can make a cynical technical argument that the 3rd listers should be merged by relative position with the west, but I don't really believe it, I do it to get a rise out of the west, and to make a point".

What that point would be no one knows, other than to add insult to injury...

There....I fixed it for you. Wiggy, you're a 1985 hire 767 Captain at Delta. Coming up on 30 years there. And rather than enjoying your charmed career, you're sticking your nose into other peoples business. And not just our business.....Everybody's business. You've commented about seniority arbitrations/integrations on almost every single board on APC. Delta/NW, United/Continental, SW/AirTran, US/AWA, and now US/AA. I realize you have a sense of entitlement, even though I'm not sure why you think you're entitled to tell everyone else how it should be. Do you really not have anything better to do that stir the pot? Isn't there something more interesting going on over on the "What's the latest and greatest with Delta" thread?

I'm laughing. Believe me, I'm laughing.
