I have a few words for you as well my friend. Dont ever be on a contract negotiating committee for any airline! hahahahah

News Flash*** If he was on one he'd have to be elected into the union representation somehow...he doesn't magically appear.

News Flash*** Members of the negotiating committee are not elected, they are chosen by the MEC.

Just remember that there's always someone who has it better than you, and there's always someone who has it worse. That being said, there's no reason why we can't work to make our lifestyle better, even though we have it very good compared to many others.

In terms of the complaining, when we get angry at something we have to let it out somehow before it kills us, and a semi-anonymous internet message board is as good a place as any.

Why is it that 9-11 comes in almost all conversations and then someone always states that they had a friend who died.

In the meanwhile keep your head up and stay positive.

And how are the members of the MEC chosen...I understand your point and I'm sorry for not choosing my words better, but I'm sick of pilot groups in general blaming everyting on the union. The fact of the matter is that, in the end...it always comes back to the pilot group. When you elect people to the MEC, you know what and who you are electing...it stands to reason that when the negotiating process comes up...you are electing who you want to delegate the power. That was my point.

Ahh, in that case, I couldn't agree with you more. It's a shame that more people don't realize that.

They used to be at the Officer's club at NAS Oceana.

Yeah, pre Tailhook.

I dare you to go and see how people in Haiti live and see if you have anything on their situation.

I spent a year down in Haiti. In some ways it was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been. The people there have nothing, but what little they have, they give it all. Un-employment down there is around the 75% level, education is almost non-existant, and living to see the end of the day is a big accomplishment. I have been stuck in barricades, felt the sting of tear gas more than once, drank some of the best beer ever for 68 cents Canadian, watched our company airplane get hi-jacked by the police and flown at 10 feet over the water.

Would I trade it for anything, nope. Would I go back if someone offered another contract, probably. Do I think I'm a better person for it? I'm still undecided about that. After a while the poverty and destitude doesn't register on your conscious thought. That's the way it has always been, and that's the way that it will continue to be. The country was built on bloodshed, and will continue to thrive on bloodshed.

Sorry to derail the thread, but it looks like it was already heading in that direction at full speed.

Laughed so hard I peed a little........started crying after I realized she looks similar to last Friday's bar-poon I banged while under the seductive power of 3 bottles of goldschlager and some yeager bombs.
