If Dougweiser was ever contemplating negotiating doh for these douch bags, it's gone now. USAPA stepped in it big time and now I suspect they'll get a lesson on the importance of diplomacy.
Also, this Kate dumass is an embarassment to stupid people. She isn't qualified to utter a word regarding commercial aviation but Larry King has her on like some kind of expert. Her answers to the callers questions are so ridiculous it leaves the ATA guy virtually speachless.
She should stick to something she obviously knows.
Fake veneered teeth that look freakishly horse-like.

Yup the coex guy did a nice job of defusing this.

Mod Input:
Calling anyone a Scab on here is not allowed, that does not mean that I agree with the actions of anyone, but it does mean that I have a rule to enforce, even if I may not want to. It is right there in the rules, which I did not write. I find in especially childish to call someone a scab that is not on the Scab List. Battle it out all you want, but play by the rules please. That is all I am asking. The reason we have the rules is to protect the site from liability so that it will be able to be here tomorrow for you. Please understand that I am by no means taking a side, besides that of the rules that are listed here. We have been through this type of thing before with other pilot groups as you all know, and all we ever ask is that you play by the rules. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that unions have lots of sue happy lawyers, that arn't afraid to sue the website into demise.
Here are three quotes from the rules that I think pertain here:
"NO SCAB LISTS or links to scab lists may be placed on these forums. No calling a member/non-member a scab. Violators will be permanently banned at first offense if or when the Websitemaster/moderators feel deemed."
"By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, personal attacks, personal information or otherwise violate of any laws. The owners of Flightinfo.com, LLC reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason at any time."
"If you have a thin skin, don’t post. If you do, remember that there are many diverse opinions on this board and you may well encounter a scathing attack on yours. Don’t take it too personally. Logic and a civil tone seem to work best when debating a subject and it helps you gain respect during the course of your participation on the forums."

Man - both those blond chicks are about as dumb as they come. Especially the fliers rights woman. Sad thing is most watchers of CNN and Larry King probably think she knows what she is talking about...
Larry King is certainly too stupid to correct her. Bet Anderson Coopers coverage is just as dumb.
You're right...but in this case...it got good publicity for what they were trying to do.
Put management's feet to the fire...

You are correct Doug is now pissed and your guys will be able to fly across the atlantic with the APU running all of you will feel free to three engine taxi. Bravo
Like I said, the cost of DOH or fences just doubled. Hope you are willing to take AOTHER steep pay cut to get your dream of screwing another pilot group. Doug kissed you arses since day one. I think that may just have changed.
Tragic actually.

Why? It isn't like he has the balls to stand up to them and do anything about it. And unfortunatly,the USAPA goons know it.

If the media does it's job and digs into this non story, it's gonna put all airline pilots integrity at question. This is a made up charge by USAPA that will go down as a huge blunder PR wise and negotiations wise. Parker will be looking for payback.
Also the money spent on a disingenuous full page USA today ad $112,000+ frivolous lawsuit against your own pilots $75,000 + money spent on helping furlougees $0.00 = lotso explaining to members. This is the worst union possible.

I happened to see this also on CNN. I have to say though that the older blond chick the one that said that she would fly Virgin because they have NEWER jets was a F-ing idiot.
Also the fat guy with a beard who Lary made out to be like a dork at the the end of the show was equally stupid for assuming that there's no problem regarding, pilots being pressured to fly with less fuel.
I loved how the guy at LAX asked about the FAA and what their role was in all this. I was surpirsed that a regular joe even knows what the FAA is. One of the blonds also mentioned that the FAA is in bed with the major airlines so nothing is being done...
The retired CAL captain made us all proud he spoke clearly and logically and made very good points especially about how this fuel problem will affect safety in the future. As much as I hate watching aviation stuff in the media for obvious reasons, this was actually kind of informative.
Also did anybody notice how pretty much every regular pax at the airport fumbled their questions? I wonder if CNN just picked random people and told them what to ask.
