Isn't this a duplicate thread to one you posted in the main forum?

What, you don't like our blue shirts? I'll explain it. It goes along with the common blue theme as in our name, or the sky, or how reading you post makes me feel (haha).

I read the NWA FA's were denied the right to strike. Good thing they have a union that allows such actions. Looks like union rights are being eroded. Where do I sign up?

right... what they should have done was not resist at all. not try to make any statement whatsover. maybe they should disband their union because once that happens, maybe management will start working with them.

and yes, the blue shirts are disgusting. you look like a flight attendant

Default B6 Pilots get Raises

Don't look now, but JETBLUE just gave their F/Os a BIG raise, and added 401k contributions for retirement. Looks like pay AND benefits just went UP.

Details hopefully to follow on this site...

Sorry you don't like blue. Every other monkey wears white. I guess we should too.

What happened indeed. Coincidentally, I happened to find out who G-man is last week. He actually happens to be a very good friend of mine and a hell of a good guy. While I won't give you his entire history, I can shed some light on his hatred of ALPA. He was hired by a legacy, furloughed, sent down to one of their regionals and I think furloughed again. All the money he paid ALPA did two things for him: JACK and SQUAT.

He got banned from these boards for posting something that was apparently a little too controversial. I never read the post and don't know exactly what it said. Even Flightinfo would give a guy a second chance by putting him in the penalty box to try to show him the error of his ways. This board didn't even do that. While Gman's style of posting is different than my own, I doubt what he said was so horrible that it warranted a life-long ban.

Any moderators care to comment? Give the guy a second chance.
