It’s easy to campaign on burning • to the ground and it’s really hard to govern that way, it turns out.

Sort of like national politics.

KaBoom,

Post of the day right thurrr

Burning down the shatter before the plumbing gets installed is a common theme.

Tremendously motivating once the fire fades, tho.

It has been an interesting day or three watching Purple pilots on social media rationally discuss the most recent events with our union.

Fortunately, I was on APC through the Cactus/USAirways merger, so I'm prepared for what stupid union infighting shenanigans can potentially look like.

That, my friend was one of the longest and most embarrassing events in my union membership.

I'd say Article Eighting the former national president ranks slightly higher. The fact that he was able to do what he did... not the throwing the book at him part.

I think, sometimes, we should actually THROW books and scream phrases like "I don't want peace… I ONLY WANT PROBLEMS….ALWAYS!"

Just don't do it in that really instagramy library near your Korea hotel.

I still don't get it. We took a short cut through there to hit an ATM and there was literally a line of IG'ers waiting to approach the escalator, one by one, with their assistant standing below. I kinda just cut through and made some people very passive-aggressively upset.

Instagram

More camera effects. More stickers. More ways to message. Only on the app. Open the Instagram app. Not now.

Just curious, what's Article Eighting?

I'm curious how long it will take for AA's cease-and-decist letter for using their PSA trademark.

Is Slack still working on steam trains in Portland? Honest question.

Hear there is a bit of internal strife going on that management probably finds entirely entertaining.

Are you guys in the "What, we're going to need way more than two security guards" phase of MEC meetings? Any broken arms yet? Chest bumping? Not yet?

Management is going to recommend that FedEx ALPA take lessons in professionalism from their direct airline partners in the PSA MEC.

I mostly did hub turns my whole career other than some hots and reserve. Need to go do international to get out of it. Even with the sleep rooms I could never nap. Just sucked at it. The best hub turns were shorter legs. Like back in the 72 days there were lots of them. FWA-SDF. But coast to coast with two legs on the outbound should be outlawed.

I bid days, they’re long but without the hub turns for the most part. I JS with a crew last week that did BHM-SDF 2.5hr sit -PHX-ONT. CS added the last leg when the night started. I’m a team player but that last leg would’ve been a hard maybe and an easy no.

If you're junior to me you should come over to the four-engine wheelchair. One and done 95% of the time.

If you're senior to me, this post never happened, these are not the droids you're looking for, etc.

I’d be almost 50% in ANC, but it’s ANC .

Removing a pilot from the union. In this case the guy had already retired so it was more ceremonial than anything else.
