If you are compiling a list, don't forget the hop on hop off busses.
From memory, one is red one is yellow. One of them doesn't have an expiration on their tickets (the yellow one if memory serves) IOW, cheap pilot trick, if you buy a ticket, it is for life.
They take you everywhere you'd want to go in Manhattan.
They both have ticket kiosks or ticket sellers at in times square right where the place is that sells all the left over broadway show tickets/near the m&m's store.

If you find him tiresome, ignore him.
I do agree on term limits, and more importantly, I'd like contractual language barring union officers from crossing to a Company function other than LCP or instructor, for some lengthy period, i.e. 5 years. And vice-versa.
I'm trying to follow the substance of the didcussion, to follow, but this is pretty much drowning into personality issues, and not too issue-based.

I agree to your point on joint roles. I don't think pilots should make a career of anything other than being a pilot. Too many in our ranks are career MGT or union. We can't control MGT but we can control the stipulations of who and for how long a pilot can work for us.

A Jesse post without underboob? What a waste.
See my reply to FtB...
Oh, how's that popularly elected Federal Deficit doing? Partisanship and pandering a problem? The US Government is your model of business efficiency? Can you show me a business in which the shareowners elect the Board, CEO, and management team?
We're not talking about the power to make war, print money or change what is defined as "human rights." We're talking about doing the business (read economics) of the Delta pilots. Our governance structure supports that better than any of the alternatives (APA direct election/Teamster's Business agent, etc.) that I've seen.

Not looking for a big argument here, just giving you an example where the people who are represented actually vote on their representation. I happen to think it's a more appropriate example since voters pay taxes to the government as we pay dues to our union. You don't see IBM employees paying dues to IBM; businesses pay their employees, not the other way around.
