WE HAVE A FEW THAT WAY, BUT WE ALSO HAVE A FEW WHO WERE JUST LEGITIMATELY SCREWED OVER, LIKE THE GUY PASSED OVER ON HIS O-5 BOARD WITH A DP.

Why do you think they're not so great? Do you believe that we would continue to have many of the contractual items that make our QOL so nice? Tomorrow I get to rest in an actual bunk, rather than the 1st class seat right in front of the mid galley (banging carts/dishes) that the company fought hard for us to use. On my next trip I'll get to enjoy using KCM to go to work. I'm certain we'd lose many of our contractual flight duty period limitations. Hell management applied for an exemption so they could block us up to 9+45 hours (2 pilot), until the union found the filling on the web. It caught the company with their pants down and they quickly retracted it. I'm also guessing that section 1 would be completely dismantled ASAP. I'm all for helping the company run an efficient operation, but we're running pretty damn good and giving back Billions to shareholders. IMHO this gig wouldn't be anywhere near as nice if our unions go away. I have friends who have worked for non-union operators in this industry and it isn't pretty. I'm guessing the UPS guys are extremely happy they have IPA. Having done union work as well, I'm damn glad we have a union. Glad to hear you're doing what you can to help as well.

Not the attitude I want in my fighter squadron and its ignorant to all the other possibilities out there. If you think this place is totally anonymous you'd be wrong.

Oh, are we still pretending Wright Pat is a Air Force Base, and not a civilian run self-licking ice cream cone?

The GOP has had the House, the Senate, and the WH for 2 years and have done jack shit to repeal and replace. You know why:? Because they don't have anything better.

The article never said what happened to the jogger. Did he ever get his motrin?

Apparently you don’t know much about what airline unions do to protect pilots. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Why would that be surprising? Like so many things, unions have outlived their utility. They were great in the era of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. Now? Not so much. But I have no choice in the matter, all airlines are union, so I will do what I can to keep mine functional. I'm against socialism too, but I joined the military. The more you develop your beliefs, the harder it is to adhere to them in an imperfect world. Agreed though, this is a very good conversation.

But we paid millions of dollars to use those licensed terms...that work so well on college campuses.

So is the Army. That should be a big red indicator too

Give them an inch and they will take a mile... This attitude is how we get to where we are today. 1 week left on AD.....

Have everybody qualified in the weapon be able to arm. It’s not hard. Plus if it means I get to wear my own holster without them bitching I’m all for it.

No, they just have angry veteran’s who are pissed they took away their opiates because they were abusing them and try to guilt trip the employees into “helping out a veteran.” Which I think around 50% of VA employees are veterans themselves.
