Super classy. Hellfire, I'm not even a pilot and I want to sign up for ALPA after reading this gem!

Glad you approve.
Neither is the aformentioned ****************************** bag!

Wow, you're the mainline version of PBRStreetgang. You two could kill a few kittens whacking of to each other over the phone. Let me get you his number.

No, we see the union as a means of having a voice in our own careers. We have a voice in our profession, not just at our own companies, but in Washington, DC, at ICAO, at IFALPA, etc... You don't.

You're kidding, right?
Sure, you get a voice. But it falls upon def ears.
ALPA hasn't down anything for the pilots QOL in the last 30yrs. Oh, but they have urged pilots to take pay cuts, followed up by neat little slogans like "Live to fight another day!"
What happened to Praters "We're taking it back!" rally? Looks like USAir took theirs back and booted ALPO off the property. Good for them.
Also, how many ALPA pilots have been furloughed in the last 2 years? How many non-ALPA?
Just look at PCL right now, the precious little airline that you served. They're about to get bent over with a contract with INDUSTRY AVERAGE WAGES!! Along with a W2 signing bonus, which will screw over the most junior guys again, while the top senior guys will make out like bandits.

Like Joe said. You're the biggest hypocrite out there. Paid for a job at GIA. Then PCL and now you're at the airline where all SCABS went to. I bet it's because you felt safe there, knowing that you bent over fellow pilots at the begining of your career.

Nah...PBRStreetgang is kinda funny sometimes and probably a generally OK guy outside of FI.

U.S. Department of Transportation Reverses Bush-Era Decision on Cabotage
ALPA scores advocacy hat trick, protects your flyingAugust 12, 2009 After months of ALPA’s efforts in lobbying and educating U.S. regulators about the negative effect of cabotage, the Department of Transportation on Monday reversed a decision made last year by the Bush administration that allowed a series of charter flights by Air Canada to provide transportation for the National Hockey League’s Boston Bruins during the 2008–2009 season. That decision opened the door to additional contracts the carrier has secured since with the Milwaukee Bucks and the St. Louis Blues.
“When it comes to fighting cabotage, ALPA scored a hat trick with this DOT decision,” said Capt. Paul Rice, ALPA’s first vice president. “After basically getting stonewalled by the Bush administration, we kept in the game by engaging the new administration on this issue, and working with the AFL-CIO and the TTD, as well as the major U.S. airline trade associations—ATA and NACA—to put a stop to this blatant violation of the U.S. code.”
The department’s investigation into this matter found that Air Canada carried cabotage traffic on these charter operations, concluding that in light of “the inherently variable nature of a sports team’s personnel during a season, there appears to be no practical means to ensure that there would not be carriage of U.S. domestic-only traffic during any season-long contract.” The letter, which DOT sent to Air Canada’s regulatory lawyer on Monday, went on to state: “We do not see any way in which Air Canada can continue to market and operate season-long charter contracts in the future for sports teams,” and advises the carrier “to take steps to cancel any such current contracts.”
ALPA began to work on overturning DOT’s decision to permit Air Canada to carry the Bruins immediately after the department issued it last year. ALPA then teamed up with industry partners to build the argument for the DOT that the charter flights—which at one point included 18 consecutive segments between U.S. cities over a two month period—directly violated U.S. Code Title 49. The Association also engaged congressmen, including Rep. James Oberstar (D-Minn.), who urged the DOT to revisit its decision on this matter.
“ALPA brought it to the Obama administration’s attention, and the DOT started an investigation,” Rice said. “While the investigation is still under way, this letter proves that we were right. It shows how your union protects your flying and works to reverse bad decisions that could set devastating precedents for undermining laws that every country and every airline should adhere to and respect.”

Yep- The Gen is a really classy guy. Two of his other identities have been banned here. I would say he has surpassed about 50k posts here over the years-all to attempt to insult others (with 3rd-grade-level insults) and stroke his own ego.

-Just be glad you don't have to fly with this clown-feel sorry for anyone who does!

Speaking of clown, how soon before we hear from your alter ego tanker clown?
Doesn't your Wendy's drive through shift start soon?
Your mom just nudged me, and told me so!
