Thanks for the compliment.

I don't have TV.

Thank goodness you at least have InfoWars.com.

Dude, we have a joint contract and the court believes the case is ripe. You voted in the Nic.

Really? That's news to me. Would you please post a copy of, or a link to the "Court" order and or ruling to that effect.

That is your former usapa president and "savior" Mike Cleary, aka claxon.

Now you have a problem with the things he says?

You don't like it when he goes after one of your own but have no problem when he attacks west pilots.

I really don't know who Claxon is. I only know the real identity of a few posters here.

I don't have a problem with everything he says just because he made one inappropriate comment. Most of what he says is dead-on true, unlike the crap you post incessantly. Are you really the nitwit that gets on the Crew News videos and makes a fool of himself every time? Are you the one Kirby said "No" to? What a tool!

 

[nevergiveup]

One document has the words "US AIRWAYS" and the other does not. Other than that the two documents are the same.

The MOU has no payrates ect. and is a far shorter document than the APA JCBA.

I know you don't have a TV. You told me that the first day I flew with you. And, when you said it, your father's comment about the drummer made immediate sense.

I recommended the TVLand marathon specifically as an antidote to taking yourself WAY too seriously.

You need to figure out who the players are. Winders name is no where on the filings. Shamanski is not an RLA guy. Siegel is a RLA guy.

3 of the 4 parties to the MOU have said it is a JCBA. The only one denying it is usapa.

Did you also read what Silver said in December? Usapa needs a LUP. They don't have one. She also said that arbitration is powerful evidence of a fair result.

Of course three of the four parties say it's a JCBA... guess what, it suits their interests... don't make much of it.

 

[usabusdriver]

That is not an answer.

Under the TA, when we were ALPA, each MEC would have had to ratify a JCBA. If you had a bad SLI and the contract was not good enough to overcome it, you would have had been able to vote no on the JCBA and block the SLI, just like we did.

PI,

I believe you are mistaken. There is NO provision in the TA regarding ratification by the membership east/west.

It was an implied process via ALPA merger policy.

If the west had taken the actions you imply, ALPA national had the authority to sign the new JCBA without membership approval. I therefore think your "hypothetical" concerning a reversal of roles is not valid fwiw.

The TA called for the rights of separate MECs in votes, thus separate votes on JCBA. Remember all the stink when USAPA changed that? It's in the court documents too.

I guess I didn't look at that list when Clax originally posted it, or Dave either. That list isn't right. He was not slotted with guys hired in '85, more like '87-'88. Still not right, IMHO of course, but not that drastic.

I'm '86 and slotted with guys hired in '98.

Simmons is slotted with March 87. 13yrs gained with only 13 yrs on the property, not bad for a 55yold. BTW, why is it
most of these guys gettin hired so late in life? Just wondering.

Military retirees is the first reason that comes to mind. Getting 20 years in and a 50%-pay pension at 42 years old is a pretty good reason to stay in the military, then go looking for an airline job.

Is a tadpole a frog? What does a frog come from?
Where does the JCBA come from?
Without the MOU there is no JCBA.
Get it?

A tadpole is not a frog. If it were, it would be called a frog, and not a tadpole. Look at a picture of a tadpole compare it to one of a frog.

Get it?

Is an egg a chicken?

Do you like your chicken sunny-side-up, over easy, or scrambled?

Is an underutilized egg alive? Since you're such a mental midget with life sciences let me answer for you- NO. Get it?

The taxonomy of a tadpole is the same as a frog. Read, learn.

And don't stain the seat!

You're so stupid, I'm surprised you have the mental capacity to breath unassisted.

Identical twins are taxonomically and genetically the same. Are they therefore the same person?

Here's the scoop on frogs and tadpoles, you moron:


Answer:

• Diet
  • 
    
    
    When the tadpole first hatches, it is too frail to find food on its own. Luckily, the remainder of the yolk from its egg is in its stomach when it hatches; this sustains the tadpole for its first week of life. Once it develops strength and coordination, the tadpole will begin to feed on algae and other underwater foliage. At around two months into its life, its diet of plants is supplemented by bugs and small organisms.
    Soon after, the tadpole becomes a frog. Young frogs will still eat a diet that includes algae and foliage. As they mature, they become better at hunting live prey. Eventually, the staple of the diet of a frog is bugs and worms. A frog's sticky tongue traps insects. Though their diet consists mainly of bugs, some frogs have been known to eat small fish.
  Body Structure
  • 
    
    A tadpole starts out as a body mass with an elongated tail. As metamorphosis takes effect, it begins sprouting legs and arms and grows small teeth that allow it to eat algae and small bugs. The body elongates, and the tail shrinks. The main difference, however, in the body structure of a tadpole is that it has gills. Gills allow the tadpole to breathe underwater. This is important because it does not have legs and arms yet, or the muscular structure to support itself on land.
    Frogs have a strong muscular structure that allows them to be mobile both on land and in the water. Their hind legs are long and powerful, and their feet are webbed for greater swimming efficiency. Most importantly, mature frogs breathe through lungs instead of gills. Mature frogs can no longer breathe under water
    
  • 
    
  Movement
  • Tadpoles have one way of moving: swimming. Tadpoles will stay in the water until they evolve into frogs. Young tadpoles are not very proficient swimmers and attach themselves to foliage until they are more developed. As they mature, the tadpoles begin to learn to swim by moving their tails back and forth.
    Frogs, on the other hand, can both swim and hop. The difference between a frog swimming and a tadpole swimming is the means of propulsion. Tadpoles use their tails, but frogs have no tails. Frogs use their hind legs and propel themselves forward in a kicking motion. On land, frogs can move by hopping around, something that tadpoles are not capable of.[/font]
