Marty MCDU and JT8D, have got to be the most uninformed, stupidest, uneducated, self serving, arrogant, belittling, childest, POS's i've ever read posts from.
Capt.
Well, Capt, there's plenty of that going around. Your boys are childish, belittling, and arrogant as well. Everything written here by west pilots is spun Bill O'Reilly-style for maximum impact. But that doesn't make it all true.
Do you guys know how to read an SEC filing?? I didn't think so. Your asses were saved, and your titanic ship takes down the life vests provided for you.
Capt.
Do YOU know how to read an SEC filing? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you do, but that in this case you are only inferring that it said what you wanted to hear. US Air was saved, but not by YOU, not by Doug, and certainly not by any massive amount of money generated by your LCC operations there in the desert. Why don't you give this one a break. How many times does your management have to tell you that this merger saved your jobs too before you guys drop this tired little rant?
You vote in a union with a goal to screw the livelihoods of those that saved you from greeting folks at Wal-Mart, and have no integrity or dignity, and you blame us for all of your previous woes.
Capt.
Well now, there's an intelligent, well thought out sentiment. I've never heard anyone blame AWA for U's previous woes. Nor would I bet on any of us, East or West, greeting people at WalMart. Perhaps this is just an example of you, Capt, being arrogant, belittling, childish?
Wow........you guys are pieces of work.
I hope all of the money you put into USCABA bites you in the ass as lost income when that scabby union is either BK'd by a merger or your scabby FO bradford figures out he can't run a union with a fcuked up lawyer.
Cheers to you dickheads.
Capt.
Wow, that's not what I hope at all. I hope we can all come to an agreement that actually preserves everyone's pre-merger expectations and move on with it. I know you all think Nic does that, but how do you explain Dave having 1200 guys behind him for furlough fodder overnight, and an A330 fleet, and 767 fleet, suddenly available to your pilots. Were either of these part of YOUR pre-merger expectations?
ALPA failed. They failed to listen to their membership, and they failed miserably at representing a pilot group that had faithfully given and given and given, every time ALPA said it was necessary. They exposed their true colors at the end, making very clear that it was our dues money, and that alone, that they wanted. They were lying their butts off every day in a desperate attempt to keep us.
ALPA's been around so long here that no one on property ever had a choice about membership. While all of you shamefully throw around the word "scab," diluting its meaning and purpose every time you do it, it doesn't change the fact that there are real scabs on your list. Actual, picket line crossing scabs. I hope we can at least fence them in PHX and LAS forever.
But for the rest of you, I wish the best. I hope that everything you had pre-merger is still yours, and that we all have some added job security due to critical mass.
Cheers to you guys....for real.
