Yeah, that one...

Can't abide someone who lies for months about their identity in an attempt to create the "illusion" of neutrality, yet slings mud continuously without adding anything helpful to the discussion, then when found out, just continues to do it.

At least the other Southwest pilots who debate me own up to who they are, and I respect that. It's much easier to respect someone with differing viewpoints if they're honest and forthright about it, even if it gets heated from time to time. That's simply healthy debate, which is usually a good thing if it helps you understand the other person's viewpoint, even if you still don't necessarily agree.

We're all going to have to work together for many years to come; keeping it honest and respectful without lies, threats, disrespect, and intimidation will go a long way towards getting past this and all pulling in the same direction (eventually).

:beer:

On flightinfo most of the debate is without respect for an actual person on the other end of the computer, because the nature of this board is sport, and blowing off steam. If you take it too seriously in the long wrong it bites you in the ass.

 

[Roomwithaview]

I'm glad this guy is suing. We needed a replacement since they struck a deal with the nekkid pilot.

:uzi: :crying:

Who are you trying to convince? Both you and Lear read every post on here no matter who writes it. You both need to see what people are saying about you because you are insecure. You can say we are on your ignore list but we all know you read everything.

 

[PCL_128]

I understand that also, but there's also a max indemnification of $1 Million per person if memory serves, so technically they COULD sue named individuals (and have), but even if they got an award (which I doubt), ALPA is only on the hook for $1 Million each and, as you said, would handle their defense, whether with in-house attorneys or hiring outside counsel as necessary.

The $1 million is just the default amount that everyone is automatically covered for just by being elected. Whenever some big case comes up that could get someone held liable for something more than that amount, the BOD ratifies a resolution to cover them for whatever the amount is. In practice, there is no limit. ALPA isn't going to allow a representative to be held personally liable for damages.

 

[PCL_128]

I understand that, but aren't they still specifically-named on the suit currently pending?

No, they're not named as defendants. They are named within the body of the complaint, but that's just narrative. The only named defendants are ALPA International and Captain Moak. I don't know why, but Haber always names the ALPA President when he files a suit, even though he knows by now that he's indemnified.

Another case of Lear70 running his mouth when he doesn't know what he is talking about. PCL has to teach him everything. Maybe now he will stop preaching something he knows nothing about. Where is the case law you told everybody about? Ignoring me won't make it go away. We all know you read everything.

Ah, I didn't know that; it's not in the by-laws that they *WILL*, but it's not prohibited either, so guess there's no reason they can't. Good to know, thanks.

I read that part, but didn't realize that it was because the AAI ALPA MEC couldn't be named legally. Again, good information, thanks.

Ahhh, the sound of silence.

Just know this, Cometman: even if Lear makes the occasional mistake, he's still head and shoulders above your elementary-school level intellect. Now go back to mommy's basement. It's nap time.

 

[waveflyer]

Aw man PCL, now Lear has to see that once and everyone else twice- quoting just magnifies

 

[Britpilot]

Ahhh, the sound of silence.

Yeah smells a lot better too.:bomb:

Heh heh... it's alright. Just reinforces why he/she/it is on my ignore list. Nothing germane to add to the discussion and I don't pay any attention to people who go on personal attacks from the cover of anonymity.

Moving along...

Ignore or not. You said there is case law covering this. Post it. If you cannot post it then it is proof you are all talk. Apparently not even PCL can help you on this one.

 

[PanPan]

Blah Blah Blah.

(Text replaced by me with Blah Blah Blah to save Lear from reading it)

Cometman, HE CANT HEAR YOU!!!

Personally, I'm not aware of the case law. But I'm also not an attorney, I don't play one on TV, and I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in quite some time. So I would suggest that you talk to an attorney if you want to get information on case law.

Thanks for the honest response. Your friend Lear stated that there is case law but he will not post it. If he is aware of it then there would not be any reason not to post it. After all he was the one that said there is case law to cover this exact case. If you cannot back up your statements then don't say it. I am sure there are a lot of pilots that would be interested in reading the case law.

 

[PCL_128]

It's possible that he's received some sort of briefing on it that he can't discuss. Maybe there is a strategic element to not releasing the specifics. I really don't know. You'd have to ask him, but since you're such a d0uche, you can't, because he's got you on ignore.

 

[SWA717]

Lol!!!!

are you serious?

 

[PCL_128]

Yes. Next question!

 

[CaptWidgeon]

are you two dating?

 

[PCL_128]

No, I'm too busy with your mom.

Ask a stupid question....

 

[CaptWidgeon]

PCL, how do you know she's not dead?
Feel free to take shots back at me.

 

[RobZerbe]

Just a thought. Since the announcement of the sale of the B717's would that not void or at least open the SL's for amendment and/or changes since much of the agreement was based on the incorporation of the B717?

The agreement was NOT based on the incorporation of the 717.

To wit: the possibility of the 717 not being incorporated is included as part of the agreement.

The 717 was way too automated for SWA to realistically incorporate into their airline. Boeing would not agree to cover the number of switches, rename the buttons that had "auto" to either on or off, remove the printer, replace the ISIS with a mechanical standby attitude indicator and lastly install a second set of NAV radios, so the pilots can manually tune on the center pedestal. While SWA claims it was a business decision to get rid of the plane, we all know better.

 

[humveedriver]

Duplicate post.

 

[freightdogfred]

That airframe will come back to haunt WN from the other side of concourse C. Look for Big D to put a 717 on every city that WN flies to out of ATL that's east of DEN, and matching or bettering WN's fares. With GK payin the lease for them, why not?

Guess nobody told Anderson you can't make munny with a 717

I wasn't able to find a definition of "equitably" that fit the historic behavior. Perhaps "cunningly" or "virulently" would be a better fit ?

Always happy to help.
