No, but I hear that they will require a reading test. Study up dude...wouldn't want you to go unrepresented. You are no doubt one of those guys who really needs it.

Seriously.

Two incredibly hard headed and argumentative whale captains on polar sides. Let's get them in the bar in NRT and watch the fun begin.


10 bucks on the groundskeeper.

I'm not at DPA guy. If you do some research I am for ALPA reform, or with lack of reform, out.

It might be interesting if the DPA used this thing called the internet and webcasts of their meetings in order to keep their membership informed. I can vote a proxy for any public corporation in America yet alpa is still unable to allow it's members to view a meeting via the web. In a base like JFK where the commuter population is north of 80%, I would think this would be important... but I could be wrong.

Rocky, this is often listed as the rationale. Let's do some quick math. ATL has about 4000 pilots.

Let's assume 50% are commuters - that leaves 2000 who live in ATL
Let's assume 50% of those are flying - that leaves 1000 who are off on the meeting day.
Let's even assume 50% of those have a decent reason for not attending - that leaves 500 with no good reason NOT to attend.

Yet.... about 40 guys show up. Less than 10% of those with no good reason NOT to. And to think Carl challenges my view that most DAL pilots are apathetic!

Cute sound bite. Wide right.

Go buy a Family-sized box of "Context Helper" before you post something this misleading, 'kay?
Splash, since it bothers you so much, I've decided to post it again, enjoy your personal tweak.

You can get it in "small", which will help keep the uptight feel.

I think it'd be funny if the President of the United States was chosen by, I don't know, representatives chosen by his cabinet?
