I had dinner with my uncle and he was telling me back in the 80's at AA, they needed their contract buffed, and put the word out not to use the make-up list to all crew. It actually worked despite the few flakes that used the available time. He dropped notes in several FO mail slots at various hubs.

I declined a call today and one yesterday.

Purple promised?

Default Whatever you say...

FDXLAG... The trips on the 28th and 29th are not CIC but are in fact trip trades for equal trip value for two other trips on 30Oct and 31Oct, part of the line awarded (2467).... check it out... trip 399/30Oct was DROPPED FOR CARRYIN CONFLICT (no CO protection which meets your criteria) and the other trip was 361/31Oct which was traded for the trip on the 29th. No increase in BLG due to CIC... there is your answer to your accusation, sir. Finally, Check 6, your apology masked with your repeated "Dbag" insult is in fact just that... an insult. I attempted to share the truth with you and you, like so many others, fail to see anything truthful in what others say... I feel sorry for you for living in such a pessimistic world. I thought my apology and explanation would have been enough for you both, "but alas, dear Horatio, we must part separate ways..." God bless you both, anyway...

Like I said I don't look at other peoples schedules, you called me out. I guess I lose my bet but read carefully, my post are criticism of the policies we as ALPA have worked for and still support. What an individual does is between him and his conscience. Especially since the majority of the crewforce appears to be against any limitations on anyone flying any amount at anytime. I think those policies on the whole hurt the crewforce especially in the long run. Please show me where I criticized you or your schedule.

My apology was sincere....If you choose to see it in another light so be it...The "Dbag insult" was not directed at you, but at those who continue to degrade our schedules and lives here at FDX....

FDXLAG and Check 6

Your apologies were good......until you had to qualify them. Though you might have been directing your comments generally using the guy in question as an example, the way it read was.......sorry.....but you may still be a D-Bag.

That's just the way I read it......

Well, it really wasn't that hard.

Good on you for admitting you were wrong......now just hold on to that position.........you lose nothing for it, but may gain respect for your general point of view......you are a reasonable man, but come off as an ideologue on the message board.

You have me confused with someone who apologized. Please provide a quote from me in context where I criticized he person in question. Anxiously awaiting your weasly apology. Nice way to take the pubes quote out of context but it was in general about all those who fly way over blg and DP flyers not this individual in particular.

Geez....
Please note Jolly's post that the pubes quote was in response to.

Similar to DP flying this will only stop when the union publicly calls out these pubes or we a.) Negotiate a cap or b.) Negotiate a way to make flying extra harder. Since neither of these "socialist" ideas is very popular I will be happy to tilt at windmills with you.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day
Please note my Pubes comment in context. Does either post refer to the individual in question?

You think I would bet the trips on the 28 and 29th are CIC is an insult worth apologizing for? Did you note in my next post where I said I guess I lose my bet?

I have this scene in my head:

Lag's wife, "Honey, does my butt look big in these pants?"

Lag, "The obesity problem in this country is outrageous. When are all these fat ugly pigs going to stop eating chocolates?" "I'll bet those Reeses wrappers in the trash are yours."

Lag's wife, "#*% @)!*% @&$)!!!"

Lag, "Oh come on...Tell me where I said YOU were a fat woman. I guess I lose the bet on the wrappers."





Have a nice day.

I guess you couldn't find a post where I insulted the individual either. Not surprising, there isn't one. Enjoy your day.
