6,300 posts ?? Really??
It's a great place to engage other pilots you work with especially since I only work on average 4 days a month...



and a break from diapers, tearing down old swing sets and building up a new swing set, fixing up the house, cleaning up the house, yard work, keeping up with the news, gym, helping people move, reading, cooking, growing a beat, did I mention diapers?, church, wife's to do list, grocery shopping, errands and so on... if you want to really know.

Plus, it's free and I can type in that 88 wpm range.

Just because the number of active/prolific posters might be a small number/percentage, there are a lot of readers/lurkers. Just look at the number of views vs posters.
Absolutely, I know a lot of people who don't post but read. Some don't bother to go through and create a name and post but they really should. I get a lot of info from those who have feet in the GO and the line. A lot I don't repeat or wait a long time before posting, most of the time it's just really interesting fwiw stuff but I wish they'd post it because people would benefit. If you can fly airliners you can surely post.

Really, the reason people come here is that it's a lot of good stuff mixed in with the sex, gossip and controversy that pilots demand.

Hey, quick drift, I know a lot of angst came up with that credit card stuff but I will tell you that Delta/UHC did something kind of nice and sent what was basically an informative care package after our second was born in January. It had a book on what to expect in the first year that we already owned but it's a really nice book for mom's especially if they hadn't seen it. The gesture sure was appreciated.

Now back to the credit card thing, I'm working on convincing 80 to get a skymiles card through me. If you want to help convince 80 to get that skymiles card through me let him know.

Only if you get a card through me. We should all actually get each other to sign up and have a wicked circle ...hmmm maybe a poor choice of words.. have a perpetuating sign up group and rake in all those iPads.

Circle gets the square! that's a great idea!

Maybe Delta could hire this guy and cut down on cleaning costs.

Then there more money at the table for negotiations.

That is why a rep has to have the courage to ignore the loudest voices and listen to the most voices even if that means the forum crowd will call you names.

This tactic is used primarily to ensure you run your elected office exactly the way YOU want to run it, all while claiming you represent the views of the majority...the silent majority.

Sir Carl, a tip of my hat to you for that one. Masterfully done.

Ironic how much time and energy is spent by MEC operatives here and on the web boards managing expectations of 1/2 of 1% of the pilots
