Please BUY AAI!!

[Bob Dylan]

Poker games aren't decided by an arbitrator. Have fun watching from the sidelines, both groups will do just fine.

Well then hopefully the arbitrator will consider the fact that less than a year ago you guys were ready to burn AAI down. Hopefully someone on the SWA side of the table will dig up threads like this one and possibly more evidence so the arbitrator has all the information necessary to make a decision. A staple will likely be the decision because it is obviously the fairest thing to do and the one think that does the least amount of harm to the entire group.

Personal attacks will not be allowed.

Bob's been given a few days off to think about it. Please refrain and don't start with the profanity, either, that's been getting borderline as well.

Now c'mon, Lear...you're gonna participate AND censor on the same thread? Seems a little bit of a power play. I don't see attacks and profanity unless you've deleted something.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. This isn't divorce court, buddy, and there is plenty of past precedent to go on, none of which supports your ridiculous assertions.

Sounds to me like you're just a jealous guy who is trying to get his jollies by provoking pilots who, no matter how things shake out, will have a better lot than you. :laugh:

I have to agree with above post. Like I said before in the end we are ONE team.

Yes, I deleted the offending post. I always delete posts that are a violation of the ToS then post a warning about it after taking action against the specific member.

He'll only be gone 72 hours, then he'll be back on again. I'm sure I'll hear ALL about the unfairness of it, but I moderate evenly in all threads. Period. That's why all his OTHER posts have been left alone. I'm not censoring. I'm moderating.

It's also one of the reasons I've backed off responding to most posts unless they're directed at me specifically. It's difficult to moderate AND try to post opinion in threads, so I'm backing off the posting of my specific thoughts unless called out like previously in this thread.

No, he's not. Not in the way Bob attacked Ty personally in one of his posts. You can disagree with someone and tell them they're delusional WITH THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT, out in left field, whatever, but direct personal slams that have nothing to do with the issue, including profanity, are blatantly against the ToS.

As I said, I've left all the other posts from Bob alone, even though I disagree with them and have refrained from posting back to him. The rest of his thoughts on the subject are still up, but his personal attack is gone. I've also refrained from deleting other posts and threads that have personally singled me out, because I don't censor. What I've posted remains up. Period. Even if I don't like how it's being used now. That's the rule, and I stick by it.

You don't like how I moderate? Contact the webmaster: [email protected]

And I agree with you 100%. That's why I've said, repeatedly, that I hope we can come to an agreement that's fair and have a great working relationship as coworkers moving forward.

Bob, however, doesn't work for EITHER carrier, and has had a fun time pitting one side against the other for days. I haven't done ANYTHING about those posts, because they were all within the ToS, even if they were obvious attempts to incite people to argue and fight.

However, when he broke the rules, he was given some time off. Just like anyone else who breaks the rules. I didn't PERMANENTLY ban him, just gave him a few days to think about how you debate on here. It can get heated, yes, but you don't go off-topic with your attack.

"Bob Dylan":

Just curious. You left Continental and hired on at UPS the 2nd half of 2007. You have a great gig, and appear to have been very fortunate and very successful with your career. It is OBVIOUS that you have a great resume and solid background and demonstrated skillsets that 2 MAJOR Airlines wanted and hired. Congratulations... my hats off to you and I MEAN that.

Question: With these kind of credentials and accomplishments that YOU have achieved.... why do you exhibit the online immaturity that you have taken towards the AAI Pilots, and start and facilitate online bickering, dissent, and fights between 2 opposite carriers that have no concern to you?

It really surprises me to see someone of your stature and obvious position in this industry, to be so bored with life, to log online and act like this, anonymously behind a keyboard.

Why?

Me thinky former AirTranny now SWA.

Me thinky former AirTranny now SWA.

Well, that is certainly a possibility, there are hundreds to choose from.

With any luck there will be many more soon!
