did someone take over your computer?
Did some westie hack in and start writing your posts?
unbelievable.

Things are changing out east crazy. Your own pilots are starting to abandon you and your DOH cause.

The end game is near.

You have no support from the company, the west, the courts, and now your own brothers.

Its over.

The wheels came off years ago....these idiots are too stupid to realize they've been stuck in mud since 2008.

I guess the east guys think income taxes are like crew meals as well.

I guess you revel in kicking people when they're down.

 

[cleardirect]

I guess you revel in the misfortune of others.

Really? Did this guys fail to pay his taxes because it was someone else's fault? Misfortune? This guy made a decision so he now has to deal with the outcome.

Kind of like the east pilots are going ot have to deal with the decision they made. No one to blame but themselves.

 

[traderjake]

Misfortune is not an accurate description and I changed it, it was his own doing.

It's not necessary to go after an individual because of the unethical behavior of the group.

If its an eastie, then you bet your a$$ I do.

The hell it isn't.

It's become kind of a tradition here.

So Woody thinks he can do as good a job of creating a Boogeyman as anyone else. Sure, Ferguson is out to ruin the careers of all US pilots - who wouldn't vote for that platform? NOT!

Ferguson will change the course of labor relations, which is really his only mandate. To move things forward, the pilots will have to elect a Board that will cooperate to achieve that mandate.

The most junior are the most vocal, but they do not represent the interests of the majority of US pilots. They are allowed to have disproportionate influence because of pilot apathy, not some warped perception of unity among the east. Ferguson (although admittedly junior himself) will set out a course that pulls USAPA out of the legal ditch the AFO's have run us off into, and onto a course that benefits ALL US pilots. Given the disastrous term of Adolph Kleary, how can the case be made to fear west leadership?

I think that it is altogether fitting that the leader of Leonidas be chosen to lead USAPA as the chosen strategy would culminate in negating the need for Leonidas. The union could do more than simply wage a Civil War in the courts and actually serve it's membership. Ferguson would be barred from advancing the goals of Leonidas at the expense of the general pilot population and would be in a very visible position of having to lead an integrated pilot group and lead it effectively.

Woody's alter-whisper campaign to introduce doubt into the minds of would-be Ferguson supporters as unknowingly assisting McKee, is despicable. The emotional JATO that launched this ill-conceived union has run out of fuel, and the east pilots will not be played as fools again. Ferguson is the only one who has been visible in all bases and honest and forthright with his platform. Voting for him is not equivalent to voting for the Nicolau, although he has stated that effective, progressive leadership will take the path through the Nicolau eventually. What you will get with Ferguson is true bipartisan, pragmatic leadership and administration of your union by someone who is not driven by emotion.

Choose a leader or a boogeyman.

Wait...

Sorry, you lost me when you said Ferguson......

Why doesn't USAPA filter their updates through the lawyer with the names of the authors removed. If they are only trying to protect the union from libel suits or other legal entanglements, this should suffice without promoting or hindering any particular agenda.

I think every Hummel/McKleary supporter knows exactly why. The same reason they don't put out even a survey of what the pilots want with regards to the NIC - THE LINE PILOT CAN'T BE TRUSTED WITH A DEMOCRACY!

Former pilot convicted of tax fraud

I hope he contacted Seham who will advise him to change his name in order to avoid any liability for taxes incurred by "old whatshisname". Maybe he could claim that his new creed he adopted when he changed his name prohibits the paying of back taxes, even if he wanted to. LOL!!
