Duane Woerth rumor... YGTBSM!!

[Occam's Razor]

Ferlo, along with any intelligent pilot knows Worthlessness character. That is why it's VERY HIGHLY LIKELY that he will be sucking up to who will pay the most. He never demonstrated a ounce of character while leading the Association, why would he start now? Get back in your cubicle at Herndon PCL. Duane will be around to take your sorry rear to the Crab Legs and Rack of Lamb buffet. Of course "Flight Loss Reimbursement" will apply.

Do you buy your Bile Helper at Costco?

Have you ever met Captain Woerth and spoken to him for even a couple of minutes?

I have, and wasn't too impressed. :erm: Total politician, but then again maybe that goes with the territory.

Tom Wychor

Just off the top of my head...

Damn it Occam, you're going to get them all confused with those pesky facts.

Post of the day, right there....

PCL:

4 guys is hardly a mandate....all that means is that they aren't in it for themselves/$$$ and those guys obviously like to fly. Good on them.

The only one I know of is Feldvary....USAir guy.

Isn't Wychor the Mesaba MEC Chairman? IMO, that isn't flying the line. Your opinion of course will vary.

There are more of those guys than you think. It's not just former EVPs either. Michael Geer is the current DAL EVP, and he still flies the line regularly. Others do as well. Our MEC Chairman will be going back to the line in the next few months. Happens all the time.

You're correct. Captain Wychor is still an MEC Chair even though he isn't an EVP anymore. I believe he's on full-time FPL, but he's also doing organizing work for National. Tom does more ALPA work than just about anyone.

So the litmus test for existence is whether or not YOU know them?

Got it!

Rene Descartes...ever meet him?

I thought he existed. So did he. Which sorta proves it, I think. <--That means I exist!

I can think of a number of National VP's that would have loved to have gone back to the line...but Age 60 stopped them: Mugger, Moose Donnelly, Denny Dolan, JJ O'Donnell, Duffy, etc.

You apparently blame National officers for working full-time to support the MEC's and take our message to the government. Anytime you elect one of your own to lead, you get "politics"...the art of convincing others that you're the best one for the job.

Maybe we should abandon this stupid election stuff and just choose our President by lottery. Not your issue, though.

You're point is taken, however, let's wait and see what Duane does. I'm betting it's anti-labor. I wouldn't be so fast to protect his honor... Time will tell.

Worked under Randy Babbitt

AA senior management comes from ALPA HQs. I guess they work at ALPA, then go to the companies with all the inside dirt.

Met him, got screwed over by him, and had the pleasure of voting against him at the last BOD. It was kind of funny though watching him lobby the Mesa guys in their hospitality suite. I knew when I saw him in with the regionals he was in trouble...

Where Duane Woerthless will wind up

DW will wind up being a paid lobbyist for the ATA. Not the airline, but the Airtransport Association. He'll use his "skills" to lobby against pilot workrules, quality of life improvements etc. He'll convince Congress and the public that pilots are just over-paid and underworked whiners who "should just be glad they can have a job they 'love' "

I'm not surprised he's not there already.

Despite your uncompromising certainty...you are wrong.

Duane is a trade-unionist.

Stick to timing the Markets, Nostradumbass.

Occam,

I enjoy reading your posts. I particularly like the previous one re: Descartes.
I can't believed you dropped so far on this one with Nostradumbass.

Come on, man, you are half the reason I read this board. Thank you.

 

[gmsguy]

Occam is the only reason I read this board. Keep 'em coming!

BTW, I get a kick out of the "Mr. Rainey" replies to Yourpilotdork.

John Feldvary- Classic fellow- In the mold of Occam. Would and did sell his Grandmother for a lengthy stay feasting at the National Expense Account Boys Club/ALPA. Occam you are sure testy these days. Did Duane no show for your Leg Waxing appointment or maybe your having one of those mood swing moments? Whatever it is keep taking your Midal and you should be your pampered self appointed idiot in no time.
