NEVER Mention sequestration in PA?!?

[waterskier]

Just got an email from the co. saying that if we are delayed due to sequestration and air traffic controllers, that we should NEVER Mention sequestration!!!
I think I will tell them to forward their complaints to the dictator in chief.... obama, and his direction to the FAA about how to implement sequestration cuts to inflict the most public pain.... after all, sequestration was his idea.
....But I probably won't because I value my career.... But really wish I would!

That's funny. We were told to explain the sequestrian, and apologize for inconvenience. Time to write your congressman.

We also got a memo to explain it as well. Looks like it came from our legacy partner.

Explain? Is it not true if its reported on Fox news, because I have seen with my own eyes Obama pushing the sequestration, and then I've seen memo's from the administration saying exactly what the OP said, inflict most pain. So, is it not true or are you just another retarded lib with his head in the sand ignoring anything if his precious NBC didn't report it? Man, the Fox news argument is the single dumbest argument I've ever heard. OMG, they reported news I don't want to hear or goes against my belief so I trash the source and stick my head in the sand!!!! Maybe go back and hear what Chris Matthews - or Melissa Perry Harris wants you to think! They make soooo much sense, and aren't mouthpieces for the White House!

So it sounds like you are an obama supporter, and the only way you can make yourself feel better when someone points out that obama did something unethical for his own political gain, is to trash a news organization....
Pretty weak... If my facts are wrong, please feel free to debates the points, not trash the source of the information.

As most of us are union pilots tell me this. If we go on strike to "cause as much pain as possible" to achieve our cause what is wrong with this tactic to accomplish the something else. If you would look at the big picture the whole point of this was to force each side to come to a deal. No one is going to budge until they get enough pressure.

Personal opinion is a three hour delay for someone is a far better choice than bankrupting a senior to pay for health care or cutting the SS checks. Why are the right wing side not excited and praising the country for reducing spending? That after all has been your rally cry for the last five years?

And one more thing. This memo every airline pilot is getting did not come from your airline, it came from the legal council that represents most airlines in A4A and he RAA.

Trust me, I think the government spends way too much money right now, and am happy that the conversation is at least happening to slow down the rate of growth.... But I just have a problem with they way obama is having it done.... He is, as always, playing politics again... He is cuting things that will cause pain, so prople will complain to their rep... thus improving his leverage...
Cutting health care or SS could not be done, because it is law that the gov. fund this type of thing (That is for another discussion).
The thing that people seem to miss is that everyone is still getting more money than they got last year.... the only thing that is cut is the rate of growth!!! so tell me why we couldn't suspend pay raises, and stay at last year's staffing levels?
The reason is that if we did this, the general public would not notice the sequestration, thus less leverage for obama.

Hey man. Hate to burst your bubble, but Congress controls this, not the executive branch. They didn't get a deal, so here we are.
