ASA hats

[John Pennekamp]

looks pretty grey this morning, actually. Has nothing to do with being right...you asked a question and I answered it. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

That's what I thought.

I guess at least you can be called an equal opportunity offender. Even crossing the racial boundaries....nice. Hope you never need them for anything.

How was my comment racial? I mentioned no race. In fact, YOU'RE the one who brought race into it. Are you prejudice?

As for me, I'm not a racist. I hate everybody.

 

[ohplease!]

were all prejudiced but, no I'm not racist. I doubt you understand the difference. Your inference was that the cops of APD are unable to speak "english" and it was not hard to see that you mean they speak "ebonics" because the APD (especially at the airport) are mostly black.

 

[ohplease!]

time to go take our place on the side lines....peace! War Eagle!!!

What a complete moron!
I hope all the f/o's that have to fly with your dumbass read just how completely off your rocker you are!

Interesting. I was referring to the rednecks, but I guess you have a point too. Thanks for bringing that up. Tell me again how I'M a racist?

I live in Atlanta. Do you? Why do you assume most of the APD are black? That's a pretty racist statement.

Oh, by the way, how do you even know what race I am? If I were going to be a racist, it would stand to reason that I'm prejudiced against a race other than my own. Are you assuming I'm white? If so, why?

Sounds like you're the one with prejudice problems.

So do we like the hats or.......

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

Were you there? Are you one of our reps?

And I heard DAL didn't even show up, so I conjecture that you're speaking out your rectum.

Got an apology...?

My post indicated whenever these pilots picketed for thier own purposes...

Rez,
What do you think about the DAL MEC not showing up for the picketing? How is this "brand scope" thing working out? Maybe we should worry a little more about whipsaw, and a little less about our hats? Hat or no hat, we are competing against one another for flying within a brand, and neither the DAL nor the NWA MEC seem the least bit interested in stopping it - with or without a hat.

Agreed. All pilots should be supporting all pilots.

(do not spin this into a RJDC discussion point.....)

Do you have any proof that the DAL pilots were not there? I know for a fact that you weren't there, so how do you even know?

Now that we agree on something, let's continue. If we are all "bidding" for flying within a brand, if we are all being played against each other in RFPs, if we are all bargaining "separately", how does ALPA stop the whipsaw? Your primary points recently are to back the PAC and wear hats during informational picketing. I see neither as a roadblock to the portfolio bidding war.....

Because it is coming from one of our MEC members who was there. I see absolutely NO evidence of any "brand scope" from either the DAL nor the NWA MECs. The current battles at ASA, CMR, PCL, and Mesaba are critical if ALPA is to salvage any of it's bargaining power at the regional level. I don't see much help from the mainline MECs.

Gents-

The clothes we wear are not what makes us professionals; instead, it is our attitudes. Playing dress-up doesn't do much to a person with an unprofessional attitude.

A passenger can't see your attitude from across the terminal, unless it is really really bad. But they can see if you look like a slob. And I guarantee that if you look like a slob, that WILL have a direct impact on their view of you.

No one was agreeing with you, they just don't turn it into an RJDC rant. Tell me how RFPs, and your brand scope has ANYTHING to do with whether you, or I, have to wear a hat in when we leave the Bada Bing lounge. And again, I think we should keep the hats, and while we're at it ditch the leather jackets.
