I believe the person you are referring to is the Scope Guru (LP). Hope he is better informed when it come to scope issues!

Section Eight

Haven't you heard? We have the best scope clause in the industry, and the best contract language.

Thats why there are people on furlough and we (they) sit back idle and impotent while they systematically hire more and more to replace IPA pilots just to emphasize the punch line, all the while handing out SWA handbooks to appease the masses and analysts.

Add to that, all the line folks are supposed report management flying (I would be numb by now if I were still on the line). It's like crying wolf 400 times for no reason.

Must be part of that plan B we heard all about, fill the IPA server with FQS flying statistics so they can say:

"Wow, they really did keep our people on the street longer by hiring.

Whats for lunch?"

What a joke. If this keeps I won't be the only one looking for a job.

Start over, that's the only plan you can count on.

Carry on.

Hey i thought everyone was informed of plan B. It was if plan A don't work you're on your own and i have military obligations to full fill that will come up if the plan A fails. Of course our usual sheeps in ipa bought out on that BS as well.
Now you may go back to your corner and don't ask any questions unless you have minimum of 20 yrs here so continue to report managment flying because thats how we can keep counts of our sheeps.
What a Joke

Not to worry...the "Union of One" has it ALL figured out. After reading the latest magnum opus of unverifiable accomplishments (can't prove most due to national security concerns) I have come to the realization that we can send everybody else home, turn Fern valley into a gentlemen's club and use the dues money we were wasting on everyone/everything else and our cut of the tips for refund checks to those chosen as worthy.

Wow...and I thought BT made some wild promises. One vote and everything will go our way!

Bob, Bob, Bob.

Just when I thought progress was made, back down in the gutter you go. I'm having a hard time reaching you. Do we need a review?

Sideshow Bob

Just because the realities disturb you doesn't either invalidate them or have anything to do with your ability to obscure the reality that IMO SF is not now, or will ever be ready for prime time. So much of his non-specific diatribe is either unverifiable (if not obtuse and laden meaningless buzzwords) and/or hidden with the cloak of "national security". In essence he can say volumes of nothing...he's likely better suited to a career in the EPA.

If your reality is a "gutter", that's unfortunate, but equally as pointless as his Union of One tripe.

How about EG running for VP. There's a guy I believe is ready for "prime time." You over estimate SF influence...

Ok, Bob. Let’s try this again.

It’s all about positive support, not degradation. Regardless of how you feel about the other candidates, let’s focus on the positives of the candidate you support. As you have pointed out in other posts you fully support DM. So let’s use him as an example, shall we?

Bob, repeat after me:

I, Sideshow Bob, support DM as my candidate of choice. He believes in (fill in the blank) and his position on (fill in the blank) is more in my line of thinking.

See? It’s not that hard. Just stay positive. There is absolutely no need to sling mud or innuendos at the other candidates. It makes you look sour.

Sideshow Bob

Or:

"I, UPSAv8tr support SF as my candidate of choice. He believes in illegally obtaining confidential survey materials and having his BFF try to ambush his opponent in a debate, while simultaneously trying to bribe his opponent with a negotiating committee position if he will drop out of the race, both of which if investigated to their logical conclusion would have resulted in SF being banned from any union position. He also can say completely inflated and unverifiable fluff better than Barack Obama, and his positions, while obscure and pointless are in line with my equally pointless world view."

You're right...just stay factual...who needs mud when he slings so much fecal material? There is no reason not to admit what SF actually did the last election...ignoring the undeniable truth makes you look naive and in denial.

You sure lack the guts to tell that to Scott F's face when he's on your jumpseat. Hobnob, smile, chat it up, and once he's away it's time to stab him in the back.

Try asking me for a jumpseat sometime out of ANC. You'll never ride with me, Bob.
