Starting a new thread is, well, starting a new thread.
He wanted to call people out after his earlier responses within the thread did not get enough traction, even with words like "ashamed" used. I just had no idea why he took offense to straight up non political background information being posted.
In a debate of the facts, the resolution was factually relevant.
Some are wanting to hang reps for doing what we apparently told them to do. I think a little restraint is in order until we see what happens here. I'm thinking (if the interwebz are any indication) this LOA gets postponed or some how administratively delayed while communications take place.

I'm actually going to start agreeing with Pineapple Guy........commuters are bad guys. We don't attend LEC meetings, we just show up to fly and then go home. Everyone needs to move to base and we should have to attend X numbers of meetings to be members in good standing.
OK, a little rash.....but hopefully you see my point. As an example, my college fraternity had a similar rule......you had to attend X number of weekly meetings a month or you weren't welcome at the parties. Harsh but effective

I flew them at Pinnacle. Many times arriving at the crashpad having no memory of the approach or landing. These things are UNSAFE. Would we even be having this discussion if they were restricted to the TOP 10% of the list, instead of the bottom 10% of the NB Categories?
One another Gem Pinnacle Management attempted to force down our throats.....tagging and out/back after the return leg to base.
Think about THAT. If you don't think DAL would do it you are living in a fantasy land. As long as it's under the 14 hour limit standby for a reroute.
I won't friggen do it. PERIOD. Even if it meant no longer working at DAL. There are other things out there that pay more and won't kill you.

Little birdie says SDP's dropped from TA, 12-hour leash instead of 13 hours.
