No kidding......
Joe, you amuse me to no end. I find it very easy to let pretty much whatever you say just roll off my back, considering it comes from a personal-agenda ridden naysayer whose mission is life is to say, "Hey ALPA, I was right and you were wrong."
Whatever MW did before he came here he has more than made up for by the countless hours of his life he has committed to ALPA committee work. Not just run-of-the-mill committee work, mind you, but committe work that more or less has to be made up as they go along.... I think the man has atoned for his past transgressions.
Tell me Joe, what have you done? Beat your chest and tell me all about how you negotiated the last contract.... Bang up job, d-bag! Thanks so much for the contract language that is so PATHETICALLY weak that I feel exploited pretty much every time I come to work. Since then you've been nothing more than a knee-jerk naysayer. ALPA says the sky is blue, you say green. ALPA puts out a strike vote, you say the sky is falling. All the while, what you really want us to read is, " I told you so. You didn't listen."
Tell me something. If you're so in tune with the reality of the airline world and the precarious position of the regionals, why did DF and KC shut you out over a year ago???
Face it Joe. Your ship sailed long ago. In the meantime, please do one of two things. Either sit there and beat your chest, screaming, "Dammit, I'm right and all you fools are wrong." or do the job YOUR PILOT GROUP elected you to do.
You, sir, are worse than management. In fact, you're worse than the management/ALPA flip-floppers (a la CV and ND). You are out for your self-interests and nothing more. The best part is that EVERYONE knows it!
Go ahead. Lecture me about your expertise. Tell me all about how your real estate ventures have soured and how you desperately need those bi-monthly paychecks just to stay afloat.
What a piece of crap you are!
