RTFQ there swabbie - you talking to someone else? I was affirming there was no one posting here while on ALPA trip drops and refuting Purples hyperbolic rant.

It was all of the same vein. Slow your roll Red Baron.

Are you looking at the same report? I don't see names of anyone who posts at all even close to 80 let alone 92.

When you consider that it takes approximately 60-70 pilots to work a full month for each full pay flight loss guy, it's kinda asinine to worry about the people that make sure the phones get answered when you get into trouble.

Standing by for someone to trump my assumption in 3...2...

They are still volunteers, if there is abuse then that is a different story. If that is your concern than push to get rid of the company paid FPL and start donating time for the FPL.

You volunteered to be in the Air Force. You collected pay.

I just disagree with the misconception that FPL is volunteering. If you are getting 92 hours of pay for FPL you have chosen to become a DALPA employee.

Volunteering for a job with pay in the Air Force is somehow different than dropping a trip to perform work for you? What few 92 hour names on that list aren't out of our dues anyway. My taxes did pay for your time at the Air Force though. I also don't see the names you posted about earlier? I'm up for a good DALPA bashing any day of the week but we finally got our DTW resolution to post FPL and you go bashing guys straight away. ***
