Celebrate your independance by rebelling against filthy airline executives. SCABAIR would be a good place to start.

As we celebrate this 230th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of Idependence, We must first give thanks to all the outstanding warriors, past, present, and future, who have kept the wolf from the door through it all.
To all of you on this board, on both sides of the debate, I wish you a sincere happy 4th of July. It is indeed an honor to share the field of battle with you.

are you referring to the battle being fought for the integrity of our craft, the same battle that AMFA was fighting to preserve jobs from being outsourced, the same battle to retain pay and benefits, the same battle to keep our skies safe? is this the battle you speak of CSAR?
Should'nt your quote go more like this? "It is indeed an honor to share the field of battle against you"
Yes Happy Independence Day Indeed, and to those who think its ok to desecrate and burn my 'Old Glory'....You can ALL Kiss My Arse!

I extend best wishes to ALL who participate in this debate. As Americans, we all celebrate today the great experiment known as these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This board is living proof that we do indeed live in the land of the free and home of the brave.
And to quote Johnny Cash, "I thank God we live in a country where we have the freedom to burn the flag. I also Thank god we live in a country where we have the right to bear arms, so I can shoot any SOB who burns mine."

This is by far the best post you have ever made IMHO! I would also just like to say to all those proud fellow American Patriots remember what this day represents, this is indeed the Greatest democracy ever concieved by mankind, and to quote one of our finest military leaders:
"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
~George S. Patton
GOD Bless our Troops!
I didn't wish a happy holiday to an SCABS nor would I do so. Make no mistake, I'm not part of the "SCAB Love Fest".
My reply was to Local 12 and it was sincere.
You have some "backslappers" onboard here and you can save your kind words for them.

RAGGED OLD FLAG
I walked through a county courthouse square,
On a park bench an old man was sitting there.
I said, "Your old courthouse is kinda run down."
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town."
I said, "Your flagpole has leaned a little bit,
And that's a Ragged Old Flag you got hanging on it.
He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down.
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town?"
I said, "I think it is." He said, "I don't like to brag,
But we're kinda proud of that Ragged Old Flag."
"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there
When Washington took it across the Delaware.
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing _Oh Say Can You See_.
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams."
"And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the Texas flag, but she waved on through.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on that Ragged Old Flag."
"On Flanders Field in World War I
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun.
She turned blood red in World War II
She hung limp and low by the time it was through.
She was in Korea and Vietnam.
She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam."
"She waved from our ships upon the briny foam,
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home.
In her own good land she's been abused --
She's been burned, dishonored, denied and refused."
"And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land.
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin,
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in.
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more."
"So we raise her up every morning,
Take her down every night.
We don't let her touch the ground
And we fold her up right.
On second thought I DO like to brag,
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that Ragged Old Flag."

THAT is DAMN GOOD!!!
Sgt. Scott Kilkus was a crew chief on the Hueys who served with me in Desert storm. He had an American Flag painted on his flight helmet, with the words, "try and burn THIS one, mutherf****R!!" written below it. He was killed somewhere off the coast of Kuwait. That helmet and a few pieces of debris were all we found. His daughter was born a few weeks berfore...He never saw her. He was a Good Marine. He was a helluva sheet metal mech. He was my friend....I miss him.
