Man, the longer our union reps drag this thing out, the worse it looks today, and will look in the future when it finally does come to light. FPL compensation should be a document that is readily available for reference to any card-carrying member, at the simple down loading click of a mouse. I think this pig is really going to stink when it does come to see the light of day....

Monthly bids are out. Even if they don't have an X over them, still click on them and many of the bids are there. Not all of them, though.

Chuck;
Yes, the reps need to push harder, and they may, but for now the FPL committee is constantly presenting to the MEC, and eventually there will be a resolution to it. I want it too, but these guys are doing the best they can when they only discuss the issue once a quarter.

The talking heads have skin in the game. The only time they talk up an "undervalued" stock is when they are underwater. Cramer included.

IMO, stocks are a waste these days. Sector stocks generally move with each other. However, there are certainly winners and losers with sectors. Personally, I'm a 3xETF investor. When you invest with etf's, you see market manipulation for what it is. When you invest in stocks, you are just manipulated.

Anyone know if the ALPA employees took paycuts when their employers did?[/QUOTE]


You have to pay to retain the top talent in the known universe.

I have trips on my schedule next month. All uncommutable on one end or the other, but they are trips none the less. That has never happened to me before.

And that is simply unacceptable to me (and I suspect the majority of Delta pilots)...

Agreed, what's the BFD. Don't publish it and everyone thinks the worst. Publish it an let the chips fall where they may.


I dont think anyone believes FPL in and of itself is a bad thing. It is FPL abuse that is the bad thing.

Many years ago up on BOS, I had a friend who was a LEC rep. up there, and he "never flew" yet he always had an 85 hr. line (or more). At the time, he was not a line holder, but he would bid some of the worst trips as (high time) move ups, like two awful 4 day trips crammed together, get it, get an 85hr. line then drop both trips for 5 days of "office work". My wife would see him in the local coffee shop and ask me, "Why are you always gone, and he's NEVER gone?? And YOU are Senior to HIM!" (by quite a bit).

So after I checked his schedule and saw what he was doing, I called him and asked him about it. I think I said something like, "How do you 'represent' me, if you stay home and get 85 hours a month, and never fly any (crappy) trips??!!"

His answer: "The trips I drop, you might get on a Green Slip, so it's a good thing for the pilot group!"

Yeah...but he never flys, so he feels no 'pain' and when it comes time to ask for MORE, I doubt if his heart is really in it!

You notice how fast they get the lines out this month?
