DOT seeks age 60 opinion, young guys speak up

That comment says volumes about your character.

Fox: I'm not one hundred percent sure but I think that the flight hours number in your profile has gone up about 4000 hours over the last three years. What does that say about YOUR character?

Sad case, you, sonny! :laugh:

Yeah, the next thing you know he might call you a scab or something.

Kettle, the pot is calling.

FJ:

Foxhunter is not a scab. As much as I pretty well disagree with everything he says you should not paint him with that brush. A scab is a creature that crosses a picket line to preform struck work. To my knowledge FH has never done that, nor would he, I think. He quit ALPA (more than once, I think) but he has rejoined ( I can't imagine why since he finds fault with everything they do) and has paid all of his dues obligations.

In my poor, inexperienced youth I can't make head nor tail of what that means.

OKay Grampy...I sure am worried about your evaluation of me over the internet.

Go get a life and let us morally bankrupt young guys have a piece of the pie.

They are only posting the pro change comments!!

I just fininished all 449 comments, not one in favor of change!! Something is BS with this whole comment thing.

Called a few friends that are for keeping the rule the same and they all have left comments, but are not on the website.

 

[lostplnetairman]

Then you must not have read the same 449 comments I read!

 

[luv2fly]

I must have inadvertently skipped one, I tried to read all of them and I didn't run across even one in favor keeping the rule the same.

Which one (docket #) was in favor of keeping the rule?

 

[lostplnetairman]

I saw more than one and mentioned three that stuck in my mind in an earlier thread. I did not write down their numbers and don't plan on plowing through 9 pages again!

You have to admit, this is ironic! LOL!

Little support posted to keep age 60

I just fininished all 449 comments, not one in favor of change!! Something is BS with this whole comment thing.

I share your concern after reviewing all 453 posts submitted so far.

Of the 453 posts only 212, 226, 338, 403, 417 support keeping age 60 as it currently is enacted with post 363 having no position on the issue. And post 357 opposing a live fire zone over Lake Erie.


Where are all posts in support of no change keeping the status quo?

FR8: Thanks for the history, however I am well aware of George's past. I disagreed with his opinion on the other website and instead of rationally debating the issue he called me a scabbie, and then tried to pan it off like it was a joke.

It was just one of many egotistical, sanctimonious and condescending posts that he made, referring to everyone else as sonny and infering that his is the only opinion that matters because of his vast experience and knowledge.

The way he posts and his childish insults are indicative of his character, as is his newfound religion (joining the union).

That is why him calling someone out for their lack of character is especially hypocritical if you ask me, and thus my post.

My apologies to anybody else (but not him) who thought that I was referring to him as a scab. He knew what I was referring to, thus his lame attempt at a comeback later in the thread.

If you read the comments, it looks like the pro-change crowd has been able to rally the troops and 'get out the vote.' They are much more organized with APAAD and PPF. It looks like they've been able to send the message to their members, trying to keep it off of the radar screen for us younger pups. Great work, PVB BEACH.

Yeah, he is total jerk. That's for sure.

I vote Jim Smyth's last post as the most well thought out and clearly stated on this thread.
