It is immensely frustrating to have come so far only to bog down within a stone's throw from the finish line,
Nominee: Most Ironic Quote EVER!
The effort is "bogged down" just like the careers of younger pilots would be bogged down by pilots attempting to stick around longer than they should!
Losing 50 pilots a week, there really is no other choice.
50?
YESSSSS!
Keep in mind, you've been moving up because of that process!
Our co-sponsor total in the House/Senate is 306/49.
Ha! Not quite! Your math is wrong. There are sponsors who support the Reauthorization Bill...but don't support your plan. Example: My hero and my congressman: James Oberstar.
One senior congressman's lead staffer was in tears over the plight of a United Captain, a constituent of her boss.
Yeah...my wife gets like that for a few days every month too...
The entire California delegation, as a group, has discussed this issue.
Holy Misleading Statements, Batman!
"Discussed" don't mean "endorses" or "will vote for".
Oberstar has been contacted, repeatedly, by Senatorial offices and numerous House reps.
...and by lobbyists and informed constituents, like me!
Looks like you don't hold the sway I do!
Neener! Neener!
...he remains dug in: He will not allow this issue to be removed from FAA Reauthorization (H.R. 2881).
(sniff) I wuv him!
One of the single most damaging problems is that ALPA stepped back from this issue. I know many of you have some serious issues with ALPA based on what happened with your pensions, paychecks, etc. However, ALPA is a huge part of how quickly this moves in Congress. Like it or not, ALPA continues to hold sway on your life. ALPA was positively involved. However, ALPA stepped back from a p roacti ve stance in July.
Wow! You mean ALPA is acting the way a MAJORITY of it's membership wants it to?
**Those of you who are ALPA need to redouble your efforts re ALPA.
Wilco! I'm sending another "Atta Boy!" to my MEC Chairman....who is strongly opposed to any change to Age 60...just like most ALPA members.
Amazingly, one of those pilots was at APAAD member SWA Captain Tony Lorber's retirement reception this week.
Buh Bye, Tony! Blue skies, brother! Enjoy the retirement you knew would happen waaaay back when you entered this profession! I wish you health and happiness.
How many APAAD guys/gals have been to a Blitz or two, only to vanish. Where are you people? Are you at least writing a check? If not, why not?
Alzheimers? Demetia? Other priorities? Ethical re-awakening? [Choose One]
**We need help. As we lose pilots we lose effectiveness.
Is this a great country...or what!
One man. That's what stands in our way.
MY man! Jimmy Rocks! Woo Hoo! You go, Jimbo! Keep up the good work!
