Not yet. Ordered a month ago. I think they are a little slow this year.

Just when I start to think "this house is clean" the voices start yelling from the television again.

I would say that the inventor of under-boob should post one to try to get things back on track again. But, he's probably busy studying so he can make me look bad (again).

I'd better get back to work.

The Delta MEC did not vote to oppose a merger with Comair or ASA. The ALPA Executive Board was asked to initiate a Merger Policy Implementation Date when THERE WAS NO MERGER. There is a reason why there is no PID between Delta and United or Pinnacle or FEDEX or any other airline. That is because there is no merger. Now the Comair and ASA MEC's somehow invented a merger out of thin air and then asked the rest of the world to sign on to this fantasy. It should not have been a surprise to anyone that you don't start merging seniority lists when companies have not been merged. So the Delta MEC did not take one step to stop any merger with Comair and ASA. They simply did not support starting up merger policy with no merger. I don't run the fire checklist unless I am actually on fire.

I know you didn't get your way with the Compass vote, but it simply was an unworkable concept. I don't understand how this was ever set up and the only possible solution was to have Compass pilots represent Compass pilots. The idea that a bunch of pilots would negotiate a contract for another group of pilots is not logical. Why shouldn't Compass pilots represent themselves? Again, you are confused that pilots can initiate mergers when in fact the company Board of Directors makes that choice.

Swelbar is an anti union hack that thinks we are all overpaid bus drivers. What exactly do I need to learn from him?

If you want to discuss the negotiator notes then produce the original documents. What I don't agree with is you making veiled references to skullduggery with no specifics nor any way to tell if you are just making things up. It is tabloid smear tactics. How can anyone respond when you just throw out stuff like that? The RJDC lost that suit in every possible way, so I can't see how there are a lot of smoking guns in those documents.

I did not say you were attacking me. You called people liars and you made a bunch of statements about the union that are patently false. You try to make some separation between your statements and the people they libel but you are just trying to wriggle out of taking responsibility for your attacks.

You have been predicting doom and gloom for yourself ever since the merger was announced. Seriously, you have predicted your imminent furlough multiple times. Periodically, you get yourself so worked up that you start lashing out. I am sorry you feel angst, but it is no excuse to libel people either as individuals or a group. Don't make stuff up and I won't show how you are making stuff up.

So what? Does that make him a "senior representative" of DALPA? Heck, he could be on the Hotel Committee and drop a trip. Why even bring that up? I saw the whole exchange as a sign of weakness by the Manager. Argue the points, not the individuals and quit trying to guess who everyone is. Vigorous discussion of the issues is good, the big bad "senior representative" hurt my feelings line is not.

The airliners.net crowd is all excited about some big announcement supposedly related to employees and/or good for the stock price on Monday morning.

Dorky as they are sometimes, they generally are fairly accurate with this stuff.

Guesses?
