Joey- it was huge-

But these gains.... Are happening bc democrats are in office and will listen to alpa. I'll say nice job alpa- but the credit goes to those who voted Dem- and shortsightedly- that is less than half of us. (though more than you think)

Well said, I'm starting to think there are a lot less "fox news republicans" in our ranks than many think. My daughter just described to me a friend that has become more and more difficult to be around. Not because she minded her right wing politics so much, but the fact that her friend seems to think rolling her eyes, smirking or ridiculing anyone that has a different viewpoint somehow makes her more right. My daughter has no problem with different points of views and sees that as healthy, it's the narrow minded self righteousness that's tough to be around.
People like Rush Limbaugh (the de facto leader of the republican party?), Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck have poisoned our society. All in the name of ratings.
 
Merchant, you kind of proved yourself narrow and short sighted. I'm sure you can go on and on about how right you are and how wrong everyone else is, but that says more about you than anything else.

Spot on, Dan Roman. I think we've come to a point in our industry (and culture) where the "I've got mine and screw you" attitude has reached epic proportions. Do the people who bash ALPA here really think that it is the fault of the union that they are out of a job? Have they forgotten that it was bad business decisions that placed them on the streets, not bad union decisions?

By their very nature unions can not do all that much for members who are out of a job, other than offering things such as job search help, and advice on how to handle being furloughed. The primary job of unions is to protect and improve the rights and work conditions of employees, not furloughees.

Hate - whether it comes from political TV pundits, union bashers, or airline management - will do nothing but diminish the lives, livelihoods, and prospects of everyone involved. It may grab attention, but it does nothing towards improving a situation.

....you seem to of forgotten about union decisions concerning scope that allowed outsourcing of RJ's from mainline carriers.

I think you mean pilot decisions concerning scope, since every single pilot group got a chance to vote yay or nay on those agreements.
 
The cabatoge win is huge..... but how can one quantify that?

Surely one could express their joy and affection by sending a sizable personal check to their object of affection... or better yet you could arm-twist others to demonstrate personal sacrifice so as to fawn over the exalted and special.. what do they say about the best form of flattery. :D
