Yeah, if it happens, it will go over with Joe like this little picture goes over with ACL65 ....

The poor cow must be even more confused than I am, why would Jet Blue sponsor the University of Texas? Hope Bevo runs if anyone comes toward it carrying Blue paint.

Nu is that you in the ALPA blast email? If so sweeeettt.

And is anyone gonna set these trollers straight?

THE FLYING YOU ARE DOING IS DELTA's....NOT ASA's.

YOU ARE A CONTRACT PILOT, FLYING WHAT DELTA ALLOWS YOU TO.

YOU CANT NEGOTIATE ANY OF THAT FLYING. THE DELTA PILOTS DO.

Simply put.... the flying, the aircraft, there ALL Delta's. Don't think so? Well try fighting it when the pendelum begins to swing the other way. We'd all enjoy the laugh.

Joe won't like it much when "his" flying is shipped to a lower cost regional like PCL or Compass.

Then why is LM over in the EV crew lounge and or talking to the EV MEC about certain things?
Had a bud tell me that he has been over there talking to their pilots. Are we going to go and represent them too?

Definitely sucks like the regular flu! Everyone in my family has it right now, and we're a fairly miserable bunch. However, we're not starting funeral pyres on the front lawn or painting a large red "X" on the front door yet, so I'm inclined to believe the claims of "pandemic" were a little overblown. Most likely will not be the final nail in the coffin for the airlines.

Now, excuse me while I go reload the kleenex dispensers...

He hasn't been in the ASA crew lounge to my knowlege, but he has been in the Compass lounges (he represents those guys). He has been having quarterly discussions with ALPA represented DCI carrier MEC chairmen. That's called the Joint Standing Committee. He'll probably be meeting with them again later this month in Memphis at the ALPA Fee For Departure task force meeting.

It's amazing the misinformation that creeps on these boards. You'd think a guy who knows ACL so well would fix that.

But the media NEVER blows anything out of proportion.

I think the CDC went a little overboard too.

Then why are all of the ASA guys talking about this? Guys I know over there are wondering why we are being so friendly to them. That is the point of the statement.

As for ACL, I am sure he will correct me.
