Psssst!

It is 2012. Your arguments are so weak that you have to go back 10 years?

How about you go play with whoever it is that you work with and leave the us airways pilots to the conversation.

Claxon has a job?

When did this happen?

 

[cleardirect]

Intimidation from army of lyingitas. Post the names tomorrow, I will handle the rest. Make my day.

What are you going to handle? You are not an employee at us airways. At least that is what you have said. Or did you lie?

You are not a west pilot, your name had no chance of being on that list. You would not be in the work environment so you have no chance of being intimidated. What is your problem or complaint?

But once again jumping to conclusions. The list is not even published and you are convinced that there will be intimidation.

Well step back and watch how adults and professionals handle things. Not the way your buddies on the east do it. Union thug BS.

You would like it if the west pilot past is forgotten? Why?

Ok, go ahead and post the list tomorrow, you are right. I stand corrected. I should have known better than to mess with you west pilot adults.

He made Australia look so inviting I am looking into the feasibility of commuting back to the East coast!

Pilots to Host Union Conference on Job Outsourcing
PHOENIX — The four unions representing approximately 6,000 America West Airlines employees will meet Feb. 25 in Phoenix to discuss the effects increased outsourcing of flying to smaller affiliate airlines will have on their respective members’ careers.
The conference, hosted by the America West unit of the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), will include representatives from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Transport Workers Union and Association of Flight Attendants.
"We cannot sit idly by and watch while the growth of America West, growth made possible by the efforts and sacrifices of the employees, is outsourced to other carriers," said Captain Herb Holland, chairman of the America West ALPA unit. "We all want to see America West grow, but not at the expense of our own careers."
According to America West’s Seven Year Plan, which was submitted to the Air Transport Stabilization Board in December to support the airline’s federal loan guarantee application, outsourced flying performed on behalf of America West by other carriers will increase 100 percent from 2001 to 2008. During that same period, America West itself will increase flying by only 20 percent.
"With hundreds of our workers still on furlough, it’s disturbing to see America West management’s continued disregard for the job security concerns of the very people who have driven this airline’s success," Captain Holland said.
Including the 1,800 America West pilots, ALPA represents 64,000 pilots at 45 airlines in the United States and Canada.

I am not allowed to have a husband because of state laws where I reside.

Yeah...pretty smart on the state's part to keep you from marrying your cousin.

"...adults and professionals..." Indeed....well...if you allow for them believing themselves to be "wizards", "spartans", and even "dire wolves", that is.....

In fairness; it seems that the "heroic" west pilots..umm..."knights" who've "fought with valor in many battles" in "war" video's been pulled from your "adults and professionals", awe-inspiring lineup.



Note that even "Captain Rookie Diapers" can state that "Integrity matters"...although I fear she'd likely have more reasoned difficulty than your fellows exhibit with imagining being a war-tested "knight", much less "dire wolf"....:



Yep..."...adults and professionals..." Indeed.

No need to commute unless you actually report for duty.

Damn, woke up the old man. Now we are going to have to hear from grandpa about young whipper snappers and adult and kids and blah blah.

What no smiley faces. I am disappointed.

A sadly predictable response from one of the "adults and professionals"....No need to be so defensive kid. No more truly compelling argument in favor of your group's mature traits as "...adults and professionals..." needs or even could be made anymore. Run along and fight "many" more "battles with valor" in "war", little "knight"...and don't forget to feed the "dire wolves". You wouldn't want them going hungry. I hear that those deadly beasts can leap straight out of printings on T-shirts and attack!

You're GAY!!! Well hang in there, Dorothy. Have you thought about moving to a state where same sex marriages are allowed??

 

[EastUS1]

You're GAY!!! Well hang in there, Dorothy.

Umm...ever do even the least bit of historical study of Spartan culture? I'd think at least some reading would be appropriate for "heros" in the "Army" of Leonidas. "Knights"? = Not-so-much an issue, and I'll certainly leave any "dire wolves" to their own social conventions.
