AUG/SEPT 2012 US Pilots Labor Discussion

[traderjake]

Here's one : that you are NOT a traitor

A bunch of unethical pilots don't like me?

Should I cry now or later?

To address the idea of an agreement between principals: Such could arguably be perceived as existent, and indeed implicit from birth, within the general duties of citizenship for any loyal subjects of the Crown.

Quite a stretch, trying to link obedience to a King - not elected in any fashion - from birth to an adult's decision to work in a field and at a company with union representation whose policies and even which itself is subject to change at the electorate's whim. Surely, if someone such as youself were so against ALPA's representation, there were options of other carriers that had other union representation or even no representation at all. Yet you chose to work at a company where you'd be represented by ALPA...

Was there another major carrier that was non-union?

Do you have all the facts to make an educated decision on matters affecting the line pilot?

No, not a major carrier that was non-union but AA was APA long before any working pilot got hired. But there were plenty of smaller carriers that were non-union. So accepting a job at an ALPA carrier was a decision made by an adult, nothing like happening to be born subject to the King or Queen of England.

Even the unethical ones don't like you? Not something I'd be spreading around dude.

That's ridiculous.................................................................a lab assistant would never agree to sex with an east monkey.

Hey...just make sure you are talking about monkeys, and not Monkee's

Maybe we will give up on the Nic and let you steamroll us with DOH if you promise to stop calling us infantile and demanding t-shirts.

Fair enough then. Can I now assume we're in full agreement and all our little difficulties have passed?....Without even the need to resort to any truly savage and deadly "duel" involving boxing gloves, pink tutus and hairbows? 😉

If everyone believed as you do anarchy would result. My 2c.

Some of your beliefs are clearly not so different. The west opposes usapa due to the nic and has every right, on any personal level, to do so...although earlier measures such as withholding dues/etc were clearly against established code and found to be illegal. That didn't stop the integrity-saturated west from taking such measures, now did it? 😉

I must suppose that one man's anarchy is another's revolution, or at least a perceived as reasonable course of action....? 😉

That's considerably less than 1,000 words, as you had requested...so I'm hopeful you'll process it without excessive effort and distress .....

 

[luvn737s]

Seriously?...Printing up frikkin' T-shirts proclaiming your/an entire group's magically fantasized and entirely self-ascribed "Integrity"?? Hey!..Look at me mommy!..I have Integrity!...See my T-shirt!? One couldn't make that up as believable behavior for anything beyond the high school level...at the very most. Given that it's your bunch printing and prancing around in them..well...It's imposible not to accurately observe the "maturity" levels involved therein.

Lanyards anyone?

 

[EastUS1]

Left speechless I see. Well...No harm done. You can always just rely on that classical west video moment none could forget: "There is a west and an east....and we hate you guys!" 😉 The cute bit with the boxing gloves gave you away....
