Don't forget to throw in a few Alinsky and ALPA apologist lines in your next post...

You've said exactly that. You've said you can't wait to hear Carl screaming all the way from Florida when the 747 gets moved to Atlanta and he gets displaced. So has slowplay and all the others like you. It's just a curious trait because I haven't seen it before until I've come here.

Have a nice weekend Carl. You were amusing, but now you are just getting boring.

So I'll say again, it still surprises me that there are such a high percentage of tsquares among fDAL pilots. It's a culture I just don't understand. I know I'm not alone. It's probably the non-union culture at Delta coming through whereby the only union that can survive here is a union that only pretends to be a union.
Doubling-down, I see. I can't do the full back-and-forth, because I will incur The Wrath if The One catches me on here, but you ought to be nice and quiet about things you don't really know, instead of taking an oblique shot at 7,000 pilots.

The testing wasn't targeting pu$$ies, it was looking for highly effective people.

RD people have plenty of legitimate debates about how aggressive we ought to be, and plenty of different opinions. But if you line up the pre-merger contracts, and make inferences about the populations, you can't make the idiotic argument you're making.

You get the last word, maybe you'll use it to start making sense.

That's your opinion of what the testing was targeting. I actually happen to know better. Never striking Delta was the rocking chair shrink's main goal. Many of the 7,000 RD's were able to slip past his screening, but a significant percentage believe the way he was screening. It's one of the reasons this culture is so different.

You can go off on me all you wish, but I'd heard about the "unique" culture at Delta for a long time. I heard it from Delta pilots, Pan Am pilots and Western pilots. I resolved to wait and see for myself. Now I see it too. Our culture has a greater number of pilots who would never strike than any other major group I can think of. I still think a majority would strike as a last resort, but a significant minority wouldn't. To me, that's weird.

Carl,

He may not have "said" that but that's exactly how he came across. If a contract needs to pass by anything above 50% + 1, then the will of the majority is being subverted and he calls that Unity?
