the FA's will have to vote until they vote the AFA in.

And don't get me wrong, if the FA's want the AFA to represent them, that's their business. If, to me a separate topic, they want to decide on having a union or not it's still their call, 100%.

But Linda Puchala on the NMB is b.s. That irritates me.
I have actually been surprised at the decisions of this board. I knew they would investigate. It just surprises me that they took so long to get to it. They are just covering all bases.

When do you think we'll decide on having a union?

Excuse the rant:

I thought we were into the summer flying season, why do we seem to be so overstaffed on the ER in MSP? I flew only twice in May and have been sittin around here for 4 days. What is going on?

And while I am ranting, where the hell is the AE already!?

They ran the ALV's way up this month... I went from flying almost every day on call on the ATL 73N to sitting long call M-F this week. I almost haven't known what to do with myself.

At least the dog now likes me more than my wife again since I'm home.

Reminds me of a favorite Lewis Grizzard story.

Two rednecks are sitting on the porch on lazy afternoon and one observes the dog licking himself. Pointing at the dog he comments to the other redneck, "I wish I could do that." The other redneck replies, "well, you going to have to pet him first."

( alternate punch line "that dog will bite you." )

So what are you planning to bid in Atlanta on your displacement?

Never seen so many pilots eagerly anticipating a displacement bid. Maybe it's just me by everyone wants Atlanta and no one wants a seat lock. A shocking number of Captains are going around saying they want to displace to the right seat of the 76 domestic and then displace again then the category gets combined. The quality of the trips are making everyone want to be senior.

It's coming out at the end of April. Oops I mean beginning of May. Actually I mean end of May. Scratch that actually beginning of June. Wait isn't it the beginning of June right now? Seriously what's going on, why do they keep pushing it back?

I just can't see displacements out of ATL again.

haha!

I'll wake up and he'll be "cleaning himself." After about 5 minutes it gets really annoying. "Ok, dog... the first couple minutes were cleaning. Now you're just on vacation.
