with obama in office (and gaining a second term coming up here), we all have a better chance of getting some of it back. When bush the 2nd started his term, he stated "there will be no strikes by major airlines this summer (2001)." obama will at least listen to the unions, and appoint federal mediators that are not pro-management republicans. But, timing is everything, and if oil is again at $140 a barrel when you try to negotiate, it will be tough to gain a lot back. Obama is definately better than the mccain alternative when it comes to airlines.


Bye bye--general lee

Obama got my vote ONLY for his rhetoric in support of unions... if he fails us in this, he's lost it as fast as he got it.

Well said!
BTW, nice to see some real mods on here. The last group was terrible, and full of themselves!

I'm far from perfect, but having been on here since almost day 1, I've seen it all and been thru it all.. I've developed a thick skin and decided that this forum deserves to be more civil (even I made my share of uncivil remarks in my time here).. so I am trying, one by one to make the posts here less ad hominem and more substance.
 
I am happy the captain in GUM stood his ground.

Had I had been that flights dispatcher, it wouldnt have moved until the CAPTAIN felt that all is as it should be in the back of that aircraft; well wait, isnt that how it should be anyway?
 
CAL management at its finest once again. Wonder what the press would make of this?


On April 13, 2009 I was the Captain on Air Micronesia .....


.......wounded Marine to First Class.



Are you f'n kidding me. If CAL is taking action against this guy they are crazy.

I would love to buy that Captain a drink. Tell me there is more to this story because I can't believe people would react this way towards a wounded marine, and, after hearing the facts (as laid out in the post), I can't believe CAL management would take action against the Captain.

We will get nothing back with Obama in office. Sure he may be more pro labor. But he is well on his way to making the economy worse than it already is.

Me, I would rather have a president who is no friend to labor but brings us economic strength and does not want to bring socialism to our country.

Obama will set labor back even further that Bush did, and the problem is the whole country will go down the tubes with us.
 
"Me, I would rather have a president who is no friend to labor but brings us economic strength and does not want to bring socialism to our country."

I doubt any of us will ever live to see that. Nice thought though.

Yet you allow yourself to be forced into making a choice? Why?

Rather, why not a POTUS that brings economic strength and is a ffreind of labor?

what is econimic strength? A dispairitive gap? Repressed wages?

The socialism spectre is a distracting facade.... We live under a one party system... the Economic Party, with two factions within: Dems and GOP...


Back the USMC/Guam story....

Right out of airline managements playbook.... use a tool to beat down the CA's authority....



This is why I argue hats.... when we shuck the hat we blend into to rest of the low wage workers at the airport....

Super senior B747 or B777 Captains riding the employee bus from the parking lot to the terminal with third world people working for sh tty wages cleaning toilets... This is what management thinks of us...

Keep in mind... management has their own parking lot at the airport....
