Thinking of Voting For John McPain? Recall this:

If you're not happy here, feel free to leave.

You may find the "freedom" available in other countries more to your liking.

May I suggest you start in China?

I'm not a coward, so I'd rather stay and fight for my freedoms. I already turned town an airline job in China, although it would pay a lot better, and offer more days off, and more job security, and millions of hot petite submissive women........

I lost track there, what were we talking about again?

 

[Jimmy C. Corn]

Fair enough...
I think we were talking about why we should elect McCain! :beer:

I can't believe that you are gullible enough to believe that "super rich" crap. I gave you credit for being smarter than that.

How would you classify executives that make hundreds of times more than their average employees?

I'd respond but the foul language would be replaced with [explicitive deleted]!
But you get the point!

The ____ led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine.

Wow...now people who don't want their bodies pumped up with drugs and their food covered with insecticide are Nazi's!! That's rich.

Go back and read it again, you aren't even close to understanding what the passage was about...

Until it comes time to pay for another old white guy's 100 year occupation of a sovereign nation halfway around the world.

Will mCcain keep us safe from stem cells too? Will his cabinet be filled with Reaganesque wheelchair-bound gummers like the present administration?

I'm sure things will be just as 'good' as they are now when the Arizona Ayatollah is annointed National Premier by the Supremes sometime in December of this year. At least I'll be able to ride on Air Tajikistan from Boston to Miami. Yeah...things are gonna be great!

Take your Prozac dude. I've never heard so much bulsheet in one post....not even mine!

 

[sleepy]

That's completely false. One is going to raise taxes on the super-rich while protecting the middle-class (that's you and me), and the other is going to completely rape the lower- and middle-class to benefit his super-rich buddies.

I thought all major airline pilots were rich? Maybe not any longer? I will vote for McCain because I want the lower and middle class to pay some taxes. I paid $85K in federal taxes alone this year. I am paying too much and the middle class is not paying their fair share!

I also want cabotage! If it means cheaper airline tickets for the masses then so what? That is good for the economy overall. Maybe Wal-Mart will start a discount airline with Chinease pilots and Swedish FA's flying Canadian aircraft?

All we really need to help our economy is airlines buying US made aircraft. Who flys them is not even a drop in the bucket.

YOU are the only one comparing a labor dispute to an act of terrrorism. These different things are all classified as "Transportation disruptions". Did you forget how to read and think...or was it too inconvenient in your rush to make your political point?

Actually that was the Draft. The pro labor efforts, lead by Kennedy had the verbage removed. It was a big deal, but not broadcast to the pilots becuase this was a Port Security Draft...

The danger is in the precedence it would have set.


Back to McCain. Recall CESTA? McCain Lott Baseball style arbitration?

<H2>​

“BASEBALL-STYLE” ARBITRATION

During the 107th Congress, Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Conrad Burns (R-MT) and Trent Lott (R-MS) introduced legislation to reform the Railway labor Act and impose mandatory compulsory arbitration, in airline labor-management bargaining disputes. Although Senator McCain has not introduced this legislation in the 108th Congress, the Communities for Economic Strength Through Aviation, a lobbying group known as CESTA, is actively lobbying Congress to derail the Railway Labor Act.

CESTA is being funded by the Air Transport Association and several major carriers and is headed by former Republican Congresswoman Susan Molinari. At a time when airlines are bleeding money, laying off thousands of employees and asking their employees for billions in concessions, CESTA’s campaign is a gross misallocation of funds.

CESTA has demonstrated that nothing is out of bounds when trying to promote their agenda. They have gone as far as saying that they support the Railway Labor Act – and this could not be further form the truth. Their proposals would destroy decades of fair labor-management negotiations under the Railway Labor Act and tilt our negotiations process in managements’ favor.

Um....a bunch of out of context generalizations that aren't even connected into a common thought, good work on finding that gem. Maybe next time you want to make a point that people will actually consider, use something that hasn't so obviously been twisted to fit an agenda.

Thanks for the tip new guy! Welcome to the forum...it gets worse here every day.

Any self respecting professional airline pilot that want's to try and protect his job, his job security, and the general welfare of his family that votes for McCain and "if" (lets pray it isn't so) he eventually wins the presidency better not post one f*ing bitch or complaint about his loss of wages, benefits, or loss of profession to a cheaper foreigner.

McCain is all for it and all I am going to have to say in the future is "You made your bed, now sleep in it."

Yeah, who cares if us "Airline" pilots all lose are jobs! You want cabotage for YOUR own benefit.

What a tool.
