Deep?

No, you're just a wan, dispirited man desperately trying to convince himself and others that he is still relevant.

Oh come on. You are better than this post. I have also posted before letting myself cool down. Yip is a joyful pilot and human being, who, like me, believes everything is not a fight in employee/management relations.
 
G4,
Don't give ANY credit whatsoever to the Ogre. If the union had not taken the necessary actions, WB would still have us under the hands of Handstool.
 
Hey yip the majors section is still waiting for you to shoot down the delta ta.

When are you going over there.

Could you imagine him finally snapping. "Zantop! You'll all end up like Zantop!"
 
It's amazing after years of beatings some people still believe the husband is a good guy and maybe he will change....

Oh don't worry about years of no raises. They have our back NOW.

Hmm I wonder what got them there.
 
I think you are right. My worry was mainly getting dumped by Warren, who I believe is the best owner we could have in the real world. Johnson and Noe returning is GREAT news, for which we should credit Warren and the union. I sometimes am too much a company guy, I suspect. Kudos to the union. The strategy I was so worried about actually worked. Thank you for the nice post, by the way.

Why does it matter? You didn't do anything to help.

Now is the time to help we have 90 days to make sure our negotiators have maximum leverage.

Are you going to help NOW?
 
Leverage

Thanks for the response.

I hope you will now EMBRACE the strategy that Pedro and the Eboard have put forward and make the final push that will bring us to the contract we have EARNED. I believe they have PROVEN that we're on the right track.

Don't fly sick.
Don't fly tired.
Don't fly broken airplanes.
Don't do any favors.
DON'T EXTEND.

Encourage others to DO THE SAME.

I'm glad to have Bill and AJ back as well. Hopefully this time with the AUTHORITY to make necessary changes. But I will not be convinced things have changed until they PROVE IT at the negotiating table. Now is NOT the time to let up simply because Billy is back.

Trust must be EARNED. Hansell gave them a VERY tall hill to climb to regain that trust. And believe me, they KNOW it.

I am referring to Yip's penchant for inserting totally irrelevant commentary that he somehow thinks is "deep" within his posts on our company's labor relations.

A subject he is woefully uninformed about.

He is occassionally amusing. But trying to drop a reference about nuclear proliferation into a discussion of picketing and labor relations is hyperbole at best and ridiculousness otherwise.

Better for him to stick to reminiscing about Navy days of yore and the relative merits of a college degree.

Only referring to the term Nuc Option used in one of the many threads running around multiple threads on this hot topic here and the other. The Nuc Option of course being the "Shut the place down crowd". Kinda like MAD.

Shhh quite the adults are talking.

If we need a question about dead end careers you'll be the first we ask.
 
So G4 the time to step up is now. I doubt you heard the town hall meeting but the nc needs all the leverage they can get.

Basically if you don't jump in you'll enjoy coach seating for the rest of your career.

Are you ready to help?

:laugh:

You kill me amigo....

But you REALLY need spell check HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!




Wish I could have heard the town hall but phone calls are a bit pricey at 30 West. But there are some really nice recaps on the message board.

G4Dude, they can be seen at NJASAP.com. Ignore the stuff on the second page and beyond on most threads. There is some good information to be gleaned from the first few posts. Information is power.

Sorry was at the doctors with a sick kid.

Mid tour overnight. Kid is sick from the cold I gave him and a 9:55 flight in coach tonight.

Ugh

You certainly entitled to your own definition of a successful career, and your freedom to judge other's careers and freedom to offend as necessary in a free country. But I will define my own career.

Yes my career has not hit the high notes to which you allude, there is an element of luck and timing in this career that play a role well beyond our ability to control. But there is so much more to a career than who you work for and how many toy's you can afford. As I approach the end of my career I have come to realize my sights are only low in others eyes. This country had been very good to me. I am very comfortable with my lot in life. I get great satisfaction from looking at the pilots I mentored and the friends I have made over the years. I am financially secure. I want for nothing. I am still married to my college sweetheart after 50 years. My kid and grand kids are successful. I am happy, what more it there in life?

BTW: As posted before I lived my childhood dream of being a Navy pilot, and that experience of a first tour junior officer in combat is something I would never trade for anything. If the tooth fairy came by and said I will guarantee you a career at DAL if you give up that experience as a Navy pilot, I would tell her pack sand.

Nobody asked.

We're dealing with more important stuff here than you.

Please post in the majors section about how delta union is going to kill the company.

No one cares.

Sorry to hear bud. He's WAY too young for that. The ink isn't even dry on the birth certificate...
