Open Skies

Rez - you hijack every thread w/ the one topic that is more important than the national list that I always hijack with.

OPEN-SKIES

We need to learn the lessons of this decade and ORGANIZE right now and start talking about the affect of OPEN-SKIES.

Rez, can you (or anyone else w/ better than average knowledge) talk about why Open Skies and foreign ownership is such a threat to our careers?

Next, how can we begin? Where do we start and what would you like me to do?

Please, everyone- post any links or sources of good information as to where the country stands w/ this issue.

Open skies is a real threat. If we don't do something together this could be disastrous for all of us.

Start making monthly contributions to ALPA-PAC for one thing. ALPA is probably our best hope of delaying/stalling/putting off into the future any sort of open skies deal, so I would argue getting your pilot group involved with ALPA (despite its imperfections) so ALL pilots are pulling on the same end of the rope would certainly be helpful.

Rez will be much more articulate, but there are some starters until he arrives........

DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE! ALPA PAC is entirely backward. ALPA PAC pushed FOR the Age 65 change. THE MAJORITY OF PILOTS DID NOT WANT THIS.

SEND ALPA not 1 dime extra. Dues ONLY, TILL PRATER's OUT!

The PAC touter's just got a gift and think "all's well, cause I back the PAC, since it's all about ME"

YANK ANY PAYMENTS TO ALPA PAC.

So you don't like the way your taxes are being used in one area so you stop paying all taxes... That is called 'picking up your marbles and pouting home'...

If you don't like age 65 you are going to hate openskies... what is the point if you are working till 65 if you are not working at all cause Xiang Phat is flying your jet....
