You got it all wrong Eye, that was funny and I did take it as a joke which is why I responded with the DSF comment. You and LCC#1 keep me laughing. I am only serious With EastUS and Nos

Wait just a minute now...Are you seriously even suggesting that everything you've posted to me wasn't actually meant as a joke? Puleeaze, I'm still in stitches from your total flight time, your imminent personal lawsuit that's going to take my house/etc

I liked your "Witchita lineman"/Don't Decertify Alpa thread bit btw, especially the parts about East guys flying 90 hours a month, "crying for a raise/vacation/etc", and the included wonderful, and very beautifull thought of the east actually being sold to another airline...(although I simply cannot imagine a more blissfull life for easties than this happy "merger" with AWA). the linked song put out some pretty compelling reasons to take stock of exactly what Alpo's truly done to/"for" the group that you don't want to see decertify them. Thanks again for the good work

Now THAT was funny. I want to know how drunk was he when he sang it? Sounded like a cross between Foster Brooks and Garth Brooks -- but definitely more "Fosterized."

Later,

Yup. Still?: I'd almost suggest that hearing said song, via AWA "artists" should be mandatory listening for anyone yet the least bit undecided

[17] Airline wants IDs of protest site's visitors
==========================================================
A major US air carrier is trying to discover personal information
about its online critics.

United Airlines is seeking to identify visitors to
www.the-mechanic.com, which purportedly was popular with union member
employees. United had previously gone to court and won a restraining
order that banned its mechanics from taking part in certain
labor-related job actions (such as strikes). However, the company went
further by getting a subpoena for data regarding 30 or so people who
had posted messages on the message board of the aforementioned site.
It tried to justify its action by claiming that merely expressing
views through the Internet was tantamount to engaging in the sort of
job actions that were banned in the restraining order. In the words of
United spokesperson Andy Plews, "It is clear the temporary restraining
order is not being complied with."

Dennis Sanderson, who runs www.the-mechanic.com, vehemently objected
to these suggestions from airline officials, and noted the
intimidating nature of United's court maneuvers: "The objective of the
whole thing is to shut the Web site down. I'm no constitutional
lawyer, but don't people have a right to disagree with corporate
management?" For his part, Sanderson not only denied taking part in
any job action, but said he had no official role in the union that
represents United's mechanics and had not received any sport from the
group.
