USAPA wants $'s for marksman........

[becket]

George Nicolau.

Who's that? OOOOOOHHHHH, that's right. He's the guy YOU LIARS PICKED to arbitrate seniority!!! Now, (according to the East) he's just a senile old man.

Why the sudden change? Because the truth hurts and G.N. knew the truth.

And thus began the most embarrassing temper tantrum in trade unionism history aka USAPA.

Also, why the bold type of George Nicolau's name? Shouldn't it read, "ALPA"? USAPA insists that their campaign was all about getting rid of ALPA because of all their unjust failures at the expense of US Air pilots.

That wouldn't be another LIE would it?

Of course in their world everything was "ALPA's" fault. (never accepting the fact that they themselves were the ALPA boogey man).

I thought the removal of ALPA had nothing to do with the seniority list...that's what USAPA claims...(trying not to laugh).

Yeah, and that federal judge doesn't know what he's doing either, throwing out that racketeering case. And neither does the FAA, approving that unsafe callsign. The list goes on and on too, basically involving anyone who doesn't see it the same way they do.

Think it would ever occur to those bozos that maybe, just maybe it is them who is cockeyed? Nah, of course not. What was I thinking?

According to their world class attorney, I think another phrase for temper tantrum is righteous mission from God.

Scumbags.

And don't forget, binding arbitration isn't binding when you have the "tyranny of the majority".

Did the guy completely disregard established procedures for the handling (in an airplane under his command) of an object designed for the purpose of killing other people? Simple yes or no please.
