Is it just me, or does Tony Robbins always look like he's going to eat someone? Probably just me....

I've seen optimism literally create better results
Um, yeah, this side of the partition is packed full of right-wing extremists who love to lecture a captive audience
Um, yeah and one left wing extremist who takes pride in insulting the pilots he is paid to represent.
Lowest of the low but typical for a liberal ALPA lover. No class.
They aren't really insults. Just accurate descriptions.
Well, for what it's worth, I have the luxury of flying for an airline that it is very rare to know what the politics of who you are flying with are. Really, I could care less. As nutty as people on the far right Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh side of the equation are, the far left can be almost as bad. Politics simply almost never come up in the cockpit. That's the way it should be.
Anyone who equates ALPA with "left wing" is simply a less worldly, somewhat ignorant (not in an insulting way, but simply have a very narrow perspective on the world) person who can't see that the airline pilot profession is what it is because of ALPA. Whether you are SWAPA, APA or even non union, if not for ALPA we would all be compensated much less.
Well said dan.
Brit you appear to be a case in point. The ultimate hypocrite highly paid union worker who hates unions. You are why the profession is in such bad shape- refusing to support your union politically when that support is critical to your unions success. And hook, line, and sinker buying the fix news republican talking point that left leaning Americans are your enemy instead of the members of both parties who keep this country's economic and political relationships bought and paid for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TznmpCi3Q08
I'm not at odds with alpa on a systemic level- just with their particular role in our acquisition.
Systemically, there is very little I disagree with Pcl on and respect many of his views.
Not really-
And I didn't say that. The majority of airline pilots are republican. Most pilots I've met that don't contribute to our union PAC's are republicans anti govt/small govt ideologues. Most republicans run on an anti-union platform. Most pilots do not support unions as a theory except for theirs. Bottom line: republican airline pilots have failed miserably at gaining political support from their party for our profession.
You said left wingers are a much bigger problem- I disagree
ALPA has never supported President Obama, you moron. ALPA hasn't endorsed a candidate for President since 2004.
