No we not getting the 5 fingers, we only getting the middle finger!

Seems like the NC are doing what they are supposed to be doing, to me.
In 2010 he was unable to make any real gains - even with a strike putting a "loaded .357Magnum in his hand to hold against the Co's head".

As we speak, he and his spirit guide (pardon the pun) DP, are trying to blow up the MEC with their Section8 proceedings.

He's been lying about negotiating the last six months.



There's more I'm sure

He fired Albert M. AM was the only one that wasnt tainted with past failures

Proof? From what I understand Albert voluntarily went to work in the SPC.

From what I understand, they were holding out for a high ten program, but after six weeks negotiating, they settled for high five for everyone. Feel good about yourselves, we got a high five program for the whole company. Now everyone can feel special!

No matter who is in the NC chair, whether they present a TA or NOT to the membership, they will always get heat from us, because it's easy and it's free to criticize, and because we can, it's entertaining.

The way I see it, as long as they do what they are supposed to do, which is to negotiate the best possible contract, they can do all the frggng ALPA drops the want, all the refusals they want and eat all the steaks they want. It's a sh1-t job as far as I know, I'm glad there is people that WANT to do it.

Not so much. It's just that a lot of us have already seen this movie and know how it ends. I won't ruin it for you, and deprive you of your journey from optimism to anticipation, to exasperation, to suspense (we have a TA, you'll get details shortly), to disbelief (I waited four years for this?), to terror (when the NC turns that loaded .357 we gave them on its own membership), back to disbelief (when the NC threatens to quit if you vote no), to acceptance. Enjoy the ride!

Did you bow to the social pressure brought on by the media induced "crisis of the day", or did APC change your avatar for you?

That is a real crock of sh1t! Put yo flag up if you want it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And that dirtbag that shot up the church does NOT represent us good Southern folk. He will burn in h3ll for eternity while the Devil peels his skin. Okay, back to some good ol' NC bashing.

Oh, I know the history, it's just that Miss is a little too far west for my liking! . Enjoy your time off, I'm off to watch that vid.
