[QUOTE="DIAMONDDD, post: 576, member: 583"] This is the type of banter that appears to me to be constructive. You two seem to be able to keep a level head and talk from your sides in a constructive way. I am a TWA pilot, furloughed on December 2. I am stapled and furloughed, and to be honest, rightfully so. I was on the bottom of TWA and should be on the bottom of AAL as of April 10 or whatever. I have no bones about it. I don't think the legislation has a snowball's chance and I really don't give a "doody". My union had me stapled from the beginning. I don't like the fact that I will not have a job but in this situation, it the fairest thing to do. I have never been in a union before TWA so I not quite familiar with them. It would seem to me to be a just a cross section of anything political. By this, I mean, I don't really believe everything "my camp" says to me. I don't really believe everything that the "enemy camp" says to me. A lot of what these guys say seems very self serving. I want it all to be over with, and get back to flying and having fun. That is all I want to do. Fly, have fun, do a good job, and go home to the wife and little one. I think trying other avenues of legislation is like saying "Look, I found ANOTHER stick that I can throw at that hornet's nest." I personally feel that the guys that are trying the hardest have the most to lose so I guess I can see where they are coming from (sort of), like guys that have been around for eight to ten years and are being stapled. BUT, I could see where the more sticks that are thrown at the hornets nest just end up hurting the guys like me at the bottom. I will be an F/O (when recalled) with the AAL captains. I don't want to forever have the label of being one of "those TWA guys who tried to sue". I have seen on PB message boards where guys have said that any TWA f/o will not get to fly, ever, and will only work the radio and gear. I don't need that. Life is too short, and that is not a safe environment. Throughout all of this, I have tried to keep a level head, like the above to posters. I try to take what both unions say with a few grains of salt. I usually don't take things personal (except when a few said I was only hired at TWA 'cause I wasn't good enough to get on anywhere else) Lets just get the single seniority list, get the airline profitable again, recall all of us and go have a beer!!!
