NEVER Mention sequestration in PA?!?

[waterskier]

Just got an email from the co. saying that if we are delayed due to sequestration and air traffic controllers, that we should NEVER Mention sequestration!!!
I think I will tell them to forward their complaints to the dictator in chief.... obama, and his direction to the FAA about how to implement sequestration cuts to inflict the most public pain.... after all, sequestration was his idea.
....But I probably won't because I value my career.... But really wish I would!

That's funny. We were told to explain the sequestrian, and apologize for inconvenience. Time to write your congressman.

We also got a memo to explain it as well. Looks like it came from our legacy partner.

Explain? Is it not true if its reported on Fox news, because I have seen with my own eyes Obama pushing the sequestration, and then I've seen memo's from the administration saying exactly what the OP said, inflict most pain. So, is it not true or are you just another retarded lib with his head in the sand ignoring anything if his precious NBC didn't report it? Man, the Fox news argument is the single dumbest argument I've ever heard. OMG, they reported news I don't want to hear or goes against my belief so I trash the source and stick my head in the sand!!!! Maybe go back and hear what Chris Matthews - or Melissa Perry Harris wants you to think! They make soooo much sense, and aren't mouthpieces for the White House!

So it sounds like you are an obama supporter, and the only way you can make yourself feel better when someone points out that obama did something unethical for his own political gain, is to trash a news organization....
Pretty weak... If my facts are wrong, please feel free to debates the points, not trash the source of the information.

As most of us are union pilots tell me this. If we go on strike to "cause as much pain as possible" to achieve our cause what is wrong with this tactic to accomplish the something else. If you would look at the big picture the whole point of this was to force each side to come to a deal. No one is going to budge until they get enough pressure.

Personal opinion is a three hour delay for someone is a far better choice than bankrupting a senior to pay for health care or cutting the SS checks. Why are the right wing side not excited and praising the country for reducing spending? That after all has been your rally cry for the last five years?

And one more thing. This memo every airline pilot is getting did not come from your airline, it came from the legal council that represents most airlines in A4A and he RAA.

Trust me, I think the government spends way too much money right now, and am happy that the conversation is at least happening to slow down the rate of growth.... But I just have a problem with they way obama is having it done.... He is, as always, playing politics again... He is cuting things that will cause pain, so prople will complain to their rep... thus improving his leverage...
Cutting health care or SS could not be done, because it is law that the gov. fund this type of thing (That is for another discussion).
The thing that people seem to miss is that everyone is still getting more money than they got last year.... the only thing that is cut is the rate of growth!!! so tell me why we couldn't suspend pay raises, and stay at last year's staffing levels?
The reason is that if we did this, the general public would not notice the sequestration, thus less leverage for obama.

Hey man. Hate to burst your bubble, but Congress controls this, not the executive branch. They didn't get a deal, so here we are.

I am willing to bet your company is afraid that someone like you will say something exactly like what you've just said.

But Fox News says its Obamas fault not the republican controlled house which controls the purse strings. Anyways both are at fault but Fox News is just propaganda to fire up the right wing nut jobs. Now go back to watching Hannity.

 

[Max Q]

Our nation's "leadership" has you folks right where they want you, always pointing your fingers at the other side. Wake up ****ers.

 

[paid4training]

Fox News continues to report the facts to lesser biased than the others. oboma wanted it both ways to raise taxes and then blackmail the Republicans to raise taxes again through public pressure. It is failing and Congress should hold the line. It's not cuts but a reduction in the increases like someone already has said already and obamas budget is an irresponsible joke.

MSNBC along with "the other news agencies" already convicted a "right-wing white guy" before the facts were in regarding the BMB!!! Tell me that's not racist and extreme biased reporting???!!!!!

You need to check your facts regarding the deal that ur guy proposed!!!

Yes they control the spending, but sequestration was originally obama's idea that his cronies in congress put into law. The reason we are here in sequester is because the republicans finally got the balls to say "NO" to more spending (the responsible thing to do) and push for a more fiscally responsible budget. It is the democrats that are unwilling to make cuts so we don't bankrupt our country. They are too concerned with sending money back to their voting block... They spend my tax dollars to buy votes from those who don't pay taxes. I am under no illusions that republicans don't do the same thing, the difference is that when pressure is applied to republicans, they tend to do the conservative thing, the dems are only concerned with pandering to the uninformed voters... unfortunately with the culture and education system in this country today, the uninformed voter (you) are growing faster than the informed.
Can you honestly say that you think this country is on the right path..... how is our current level of spending and government outreach sustainable?

 

[EL10]

Back to my original comment you have true spending cuts in place and people are bitching about the effects of those cuts now.

As far as the comment as to "uninformed" voter and pandering to a voter block. You just keep telling yourself that. Who exactly are they pandering to?

believe it or not, I would not mention obama's name directly, but would make it clear, that the delay IS the result our government's inability to agree on a responsible budget.

First off, we did not get spending cuts... we got a reduction in the rate of growth! And back to my original responce, I am happy that there is actually a national conversation about reducing spending.... But this NOT a cut!
My original complaint was that my co. is TELLING me to provide cover for obama, by blaming ATC delays, and not telling the truth about obama and the politics he is playing.

Wow! do you actually believe that the dems don't pander to the bottom 47% that don't pay taxes?
Just about everything on their agenda directly benefits the bottom half, and not the country as a whole.
Guess I just have a hard time with all the growing social entitlement programs... there is a legitimate need for a social safety net, but don't think the fed gov. should admin this... This was origionally (and more efficently) provided by family, & church.... but since the libs discourage and don't see the value of these two institutions, they expect gov. to pick up the slack.

Um, actually, a very high percentage of the 47% actually vote Republican. Something Fox forgets (intentionally) to tell you. Do some research.
