Did you tell him he will be cleaning up on E3 pay for those 4 months?

Yes but you have to learn how to fill out the catering forms. In the 767 pipeline you have to also learn where the popcorn machine is and the proper etiquette to acquire a sleep room.

He should stick with the F-18.

Nice. I guess you listen to the superfluous piffle that babbling twits like the diesel mechanic Rachel Maddow and mouthpiece Keith Olbermann spew, coming straight off the "democratic" party's daily talking points for news then?

Gentlemen, welcome yet another low information voter to our forums.

Well Mr.chainsaw, you "Guessed" wrong. Rarely if ever listen to those folks. Read the Washington Post, US News & World report daily, supplemented by WSJ, Fortune, Bloomberg, & The Economist primarily, you should try it.

Apologize for the churn on this forum, but I had to laugh when the original post referenced reporting "like fox News", because of their proven and documented inaccuracies, and biases. The thread was on the TA, and in principle we should all want the same from our union leadership, the unvarnished truth of the TA contents and ramifications, and the delta from our current contract. Also a "realistic" appraisal, understanding and awareness of what is, and isn't achievable in further negotiations.

You're unfounded characterization of "low info voter" couldn't be further from the truth. I do quite a bit of daily in depth reading, and can clearly recognize the inaccuracies of that network, with detailed knowledge garnered from sources listed above.

If you were truly informed and had an unbiased multi-referenced understanding of the detail, depth and nuance of today's issues you might recognize the disparities as well. But if that's too much, Google "fox news inaccuracies" and read for yourself. You'll find that studies from Stanford, University of Maryland, Farleigh Dickinson, Pew Research Center, Kaiser Family Foundation, and more have come to the same conclusion, their viewers are more likely to be misinformed on specific issues when compared to viewers of comparable media, and the biased reporting.

Again- back on topic, we want an unbiased dessemination of the TA contents and changes. We can all agree on that.

If Olly ever gets furloughed, maybe he can get a job at MSNBC (MSLSD?)

With all that reading I wonder when Olly has time to fly.

busdriver12

For sure, I think we can all agree on that!

And be careful here, you don't want to come across as too well read or with a differing opinion, lest you be mocked unmercifully. Keep it to two syllables or less, will ya?

Not to worry. Most people here know the difference between reading a lot and being well read. Which is exactly why most are quietly waiting for their chance to actually read the TA before engaging in mud fights about its good and bad points.
