Age 60 informal poll

[waveflyer]

And i'll give you that, eagle. The age 65 bill would have happened. I just like to point out how much different this career has been for the young generation. Some of it has been out of our control. Much has had the older generation's support.

If we were at all unified between each other and w/ the union leadership (Prater) and these changes happened- they would be easier to swallow. Many changes have absolutely been lobbied for by the senior at our expense.

My continued point is that is no way to run a union industry. The concessions are a direct result of scope violations.

The House and Senate passed it 100%.


The American public didn't want some unstable nut-cases in command of American Airliners period!

That is such a huge misrepresentation. People that latch on to the unanimity of the decision really have no idea of the details. The "vote" was a procedural vote in an EMPTY chamber. Everything else that passed in that session was unanimous too because no one was there. If you weren't there to vote no, then you went down as a yes vote -- and NO ONE was there. I cannot believe that our system of government allows this abortion of a procedure.

For the record unlike you I do not spend my time griping. I accept what happened to me and the rest of us at EAL and go on with my life. You seem to have the market cornered with the moaning and groaning. I don't think I could compete there.

Sorry. I've flown with as many strikers as anybody and I don't believe for a second you don't whine like a baby. Feel free to pretend otherwise here on the internet but many of us know the truth.

It's a clean slate as far as I'm concerned. My scab list is in the trash. You accomplished nothing at EAL and scabs did nothing wrong. Going forward, you are both due the same consideration.

You are correct in the end I think the EAL strike was not a success for ALPA, but you finally showed you true colors with "scabs did nothing wrong."

Have a nice life you future scab, you must be so proud.

Between you and I, only one of us campaigned for another pilot's job. That would be you via age 65.

How is it you, and pilots like you, can see perfect black and white when seniority aggression is directed at you, but want to split hairs when you are engaging in the same behavior?

If you took a moment to read previous posts you would already no that statement is incorrect. Nice try though.

Heck of a "brotherhood" ain't it?.....

Joe- you have taken this argument to a place you don't deserve to go.

I am not in agreement w/ the RJDC.

Plus you vote republican and that bit of martyrdom is screwing all of us. But hey- super rich ceo's aren't getting taxed- that's good, right?.... it'll trickle down

Words I would like to go back to the early 80's and speak into the face of CAL strikers regarding their strke. Specifically: Prater.

It was dead until all of the same folks started getting their next furlough notice (as predicted) because of it.
