CAL's newest NC member worst pick possible

[PA31Driver]

hey why not have a porn star on your NC? Or a child rapist? Hey it doesn't matter what's in your personal life, does it?

Nevermind.

Wow!

What scab are you talking about?

Crap...where do you even begin?

I may not have gotten 800 on the SAT verbal, but I read the original post and the sentiment of homophobia comes across strongly. You don't have to lean left to get that.

Semper Fi.

I don't think one has to lean left to use the fear argument although it is typically where you see it. What I am trying to say is that just because someone doesn't like, agree with, or accept something (in this case homosexuality) doesn't mean that they are fearful of it which is exactly what homophobia means. Saying that someone is fearful of homosexuality usually is meant to say someone is ignorant and should learn to accept it by "opening" their minds.

With phrogs in your title, I didn't think you are much for leaning left. What I meant by an argument used by the other side is one used by supporters of accepting the lifestyle whether left or right.

I know the guy you're talking about. If you want to call him "political", fine.

Confirmation by another source concerning a very negative attribute.

Used car sales people, politicians, and lawyers are all about the same on the truth meter.

not that i am exactly positive if this said person is a scab or not, but the bottom line for myself is......I WILL NEVER TRUST A SCAB,..ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB.

Wow. Way to cherry pick and miss the whole point of my post, which is that you're making up sh#t.

Funny, I haven't seen anything like this posted on calforums where you have to attach your name to it.

Makes it seem like slander to me.

Hey SuperFluf,

I like your avatar so much that I had to buy a shirt with that particular motiv on it. And a few others actually.

Hows it going on your side??

Regards,

dane

Except for the well documented chaos at CAL, things are good.

I'm going to have to get a few of those shirts myself.

Check your PM's.

The guy they are talking about was probably in 5th grade in 1983. I know him, he's a bit of an ALPA insider for my taste but a good guy by my estimate. He's way too young to be a scab.

So he's just gay then, not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

I have never heard that about him until this thread. I'm not sure where that comes from.

Well let's ask the following people: Bill Clinton, John Edwards, the mayor of Detroit . . . . etc.

Don't forget John Mccain

CAL just elected a new NC member.

This guy is political scum. He can not tell right from wrong. He never has a position. He spins like a top.

His personal life is a disaster just like his professional life. He lives with many in the alternative life styles, and must be one as well.

Undisciplined individuals like this should not be leading all when they can not represent themselves in any type of appropriate manner.

But then again the CAL MEC vice chairman is a confessed nudist so they must all get along well screwing over everyone.

Get ready to get what you deserve CAL ALPA pilots. If you can not screen leadership like this out of the ranks of two of the most important bodies in the company, the MEC and NC, you all deserve what you get.

I don't have any argument with what you posted except for the asinine remark about CAL pilots getting what they deserve. You show me one airline that isn't run by the senior most pilots.

You think the ALPA political process actually works or something? This is a nihilistic profession and to single out CAL as something different from all the other carriers that have sold out their junior pilots is just plain stupid.

I have no dog in this fight, but I do know the individual in question (and have known him for some time), and you, sir, are an idiot. This guy got CoEx (or XJet, whatever it's called these days) the best contract they ever saw. The work rules were years ahead of most of the majors at the time, and the pay (including hard and soft time) was the best in the industry (50 seat jets), hands down. The work rules (especially the scheduling section) were a million times better than what CAL has now.

As for his personal life, who cares. As long as he gets you a good contract, isn't that what matters? (Plus, if having friends of the "alternative" lifestyle makes one gay, then I know a lot of straight, married men that must be gay also... Kind of stupid sounding, isn't it...)

Sounds like someone is jealous that a younger, smarter guy beat him out for the NC... And, if you guys at CAL "get what you deserve" (your words, not mine), it will be because the self-centered, self-serving, old goats like you throw the younger, junior guys under the bus one more time. It won't be because of this guy on the NC...
