Personally, I have to laugh at message-board pilots that think that things would have been better under John Kerry! If that was the best the Democratic party could offer, no wonder they lost.
Maybe, instead of blaming Bush, you should blame the DNC for giving America such a lousy slate of contenders . . . . and then they name Dean to head the party. You really want those buffoons running the country?
Not me.

This job requires at least a four year degree, years of professional experience and licensure. That doesn't sound blue colllar to me.
However, ALPA has allowed us to be treated like blue collar labor.
By the way, what have the Dem's done for you lately?!?!?
Why don't you call Hillary and see if she cares.

Ty webb your a fool.
Hair on fire is correct we are blue collar working men that is how the IRS classifies our job.
.Ty Webb is one of those that votes republican and thinks he is above everyone else and then when his union has no power he just cries and cries and says well it is a very complex problem

It has nothing to do with treason and I did not mean to imply anyone would die either.Captain Overs said:Exactly what does this post have to do with treason?
SWAPoolie said:They were going into CH11 no matter what. However, the pilots are going to lose their jobs now because they let the company outsource mechanics. It set precedence that it can and will be done. If the unions stuck together the company would have had no choice but to cut a deal. Now they know they can run any union out of town.

Ummmmm....they did. It was no secret that NW had these guys in training ready to go.....[/quote
you are correct...I would have never guessed, though, that this tactic would have worked out in favor of management as well as it has.
