How would I know Leine, you're the one that used the word, not me. I'm surprised you don't remember since it was only two posts ago;

This is one example of where you DALPA-oids go off the rails. I've never inferred any such thing...ever. I'm a line pilot who's served on a number of ALPA committees and ran for office twice and lost twice. I have no idea on whether anything I've ever done advanced mine or anyone's career. I hope it has, but there's no way to know.

When you do this kind of stuff, it only reinforces how weak your position is.

Yes, it was determined that double breasted jackets aren't enough. We're going with triple breasted now.

That's not far from the truth. When the NWA guys were getting fitted for their Delta uniform, a former MEC Member (RS) asked the vendor if they had triple breasted jackets since the double breasted one was too tight. She looked at him like a deer in the headlights.

So what. Is that supposed to make you correct or something?

You'll have to go back to disrespecting me Leine because I've never outed myself here. There have been a lot of ALPA goons who have outed me here on APC and have been banned for doing so. It's always been an attempt to silence me. Hasn't worked out very well.

Yet another example of going off the rails. Someone outing themselves has no bearing on factual accuracy. You baiting people to out themselves in order to give them credibility in your world, only proves how weird your world is.

See above.

This "just say no" smear is interesting. That's not what anybody here was arguing for. We were arguing for the continuation of negotiations until a better deal was reached. Instead, our guys voluntarily stopped negotiations and signed a TA on their own. They did so outside of the Section 6 process without the company declaring it was their last best offer or an impasse being declared. Our guys bought off on the management-created ruse that the deal was time critical. Our guys were over matched amateurs and it was truly embarrassing.

Again, it's not about "just say no" it's about not running away scared.
