It's kind of like I just know no one from (D)ALPA is going to say the union has made a mistake in the past (fill in the blank) years. 6? (at least since I've been here. Can you recall any acknowledgement of regret on anything? Batting 1.000

I mean, I'd be willing to be more open to their DPA criticism if they'd look in the mirror and be honest just once in a while. But in ALPA land it's "We're the shinning knight, and that Orc over there wants to castrate you."
Now brace yourself, but I agree with you.

And I've passed that sentiment on to DALPA. Fact is, they aren't infallible. And IMO we need to hear them admit that.

Have you met either candidate? Have you compared their perspective resumes?


Then the MEC needs to allow him to put into place a team that is unified in working with him
Does the MEC work for the Chairman or does the Chairman work for the MEC?

vs undermining from the beginning like K.R.
What proof do you have that he was being undermined? Why didn't KR provide one example of said "undermining"?


If it means cleaning house of the old guard, so be it.
How much "cleaning house" is either candidate claiming to do?


Some of them will come around and can be useful, some won't change and must be sent back to the line.
Does "coming around" and liking the Chairman become a keep/let go factor? What about job performance?

So SWA gets 12 more LGA slots as part of AMR merger. How do they still have the public fooled into believing they are a low cost carrier?

This is great. If we are still in section six in 2017-18, they top us by $40 per on the 330/767-4.

Nice bar. Thanks APA.

Personally, I'd never complain about the 4 hour penalty lap in Atlanta if we had their 1:2 after a two hour sit.


The extra cabbage in the 401k be nice too.

Quick question for the smart reserve guys. Does going to recurrent bump up your RAW score for the month? If so, how much RAW credit? Thanks in advance

Captain Ebeneezer gets a visit from his new hire partner, Captain Marley, warning him of his need to ammend his bidding ways...

I have, and I have.

Does the MEC work for the Chairman or does the Chairman work for the MEC?
The Chairman works for the MEC. The committee structure works for the MEC Chairman, with the exceptions of the Merger and Negotiating Committees. Undue influence, and subversive activity is counter-productive to the business at hand within the office structure. Carrying out the wishes of the MEC body and getting the day to day tasks at hand are, and should be, two separate independent activities--while not mutually exclusive. Nobody is irreplaceable. We manage to get along just nicely without longstanding volunteers, we find that some longstanding volunteers tend to do more harm than good, and we find a way to keep swimming without short term volunteers who succumb to promises of grandeur.

How much "cleaning house" is either candidate claiming to do?
Unknown, probably to anyone other than reps. The Chairman works for the reps. Knowing both announced candidates, I suspect that they "claim" differently.

Does "coming around" and liking the Chairman become a keep/let go factor? What about job performance?
Yep and nope. Prior to KR, yep. Under KR, nope.

Populism gets old.

It sure does; and it sure doesn't--no matter what side of the divided fence you find yourself.

Well the World Cup groups are out. USA has a tough one. Looked at flights in June, we are showing one 767-400 from JFK, two 767-300ERs from ATL, and one 767-300ER from DTW all to Sao Paulo. I heard that we got permission for a 747. Anyone have any info about that?
