I'm logging out. Perhaps I'll lurk (without logging in) from time to time, but this is getting ridiculous.

Are you really dense enough to think that a mod gets a kickback from any ads on this site? People logged in at the same time don't even see the same ads- it's generated by some sort of software that displays ads depending on your location and such. The guy you're accusing of plugging doesn't even see ads because he uses a blocker!

Truly amazing.

I'm with you. Unfortunately this union has a history of thinking for it's members often without asking. If they were to do this they would be replaced plain and simple.

If the extension is agreed to by the MEC prior to the Section 6 process beginning, they absolutely could do it without MEMRAT. After Section 6 begins they would have to get MEMRAT...unless they just amend the policy manual language.

MB, cookies on your computer have more to do with the adds you see than anything else. I can be a conspiracy theory guy myself but there is nothing to see here. Stay focused OBI ONE.

Ok. Thanks for bringing me back from the brink, Jack. I'll toss my tin foil hat into the recycling bin for now.

Haha we have all been there. It gets so frustrating watching the ALPA shell game playing with our careers and progression while they look out for number 1. Dawning the tin foil hat will happen from time to time.

Have I told you how much I enjoyed taking classes at ITT tech? Ask me more and I can tell you how to save money on airfares with your Sky Miles card!

Yep. You hit the nail on the head, brotha.

It's absolute insanity. We're gifting ALPA our hard-earned money, which they use to:

1) (first and foremost) pay themselves outrageous salaries, benefits, and perks;
2) advocate for and fund outsourced pilot groups who would happily take Delta pilots' jobs; and
3) bankroll a bloated, corrupt, and obsolete bureaucracy that gives not a whit for Delta pilots' careers.

Funny thing is, not even the most strident ALPA supporter can legitimately disagree. they'll try to tell me how valuable the "laywers" and "medical" are...but we can subcontract those ourselves at a fraction of the cost.

It's enough to drive anyone batty. We've got to put an end to this madness.
