So you're going to base your whole mentality on something that happened 30+ years ago? I bet you still think you can get AIDS from a toilet seat too then, right?

So your position is that the board members appointed by Reagan to the NLRB were friendly to labor?

I don't have a position, nor do I really give 2 cents about it. I'm saying holding grudges on something that happened 30+ years ago, seems stupid.

That's said as if you're familiar with my professional background. Which I doubt.

Perhaps you should get to know someone before you say something about such.

And I get it Sam, you love being a CRJ Captain at ExpressJet. Congrats.

Do three out of five 4days that get extended into 5 or 6 days because of Company incompetence and you may have a different idea about how pleasant it is to work here. And after over 8 years of such incompetence, it's a little difficult to express a high sense of optimism that these chronic problems will be resolved.

Perspective Sam. Ours is different. And it's okay.

Nah man, come on up. You've been around long enough to know not to allow one's perspective of one potential crewmember to cloud your judgment of how the remaining balance of crewmembers may act.

I don't get extended though. Don't want to start that crap.

As if having a pro-labor person in the executive branch has ever helped in getting to a strike. Until airlines are removed from the RLA, it doesn't matter who's running the house in white in DC.

Why do you think Spirit was allowed to strike? Do you have any idea how labor friendly the current 3 board members are? It makes a huge difference who is in the Whitehouse.

During a "break from the industry", I had a job as a meatcutter.

I worked the 3rd shift, 9pm to 5am. In a cooler at 38dF. Stood on a hard rubber mat and my only coworkers in this little slice of paradise spoke zero English. At the end of the night, we had to pressure wash the whole cooler with hot water and disinfectant.

When I got home at 5:30am, I was tired, cold, my hands were swollen, I was covered head to toe with meat bits and I reeked of lamb juice and bleach.

BUT....

I was home every night. In slept in my own bed. I could make plans. I could hang out with friends on the weekend. I could have a beer and watch the game. I could eat healthy and work out because I had the time to do so and I didn't have to carry a pitiful little basket of food with me, praying the hotel had a fridge. I could go out with someone and didn't need 3 months of calendars to schedule the next date.

In short, my life did not revolve around work. Aside from the actual work part, it was awesome.

So before selling short the sacrifices everyone in this business makes, everyone should consider the big picture.

Life is more than what you do. Sure, selling our skills and experience to our employers is part of it, but more than anything else, we are selling time out of our lives.

A LOT of it. Never forget that.

Spirit was allowed to strike because they were and still are a niche carrier that generally doesn't carry business travelers in and out of the beltway...

You really think Spirit would have been released if there was a Republican in the Whitehouse? In the current political environment?
 
So I know these abbreviations or whatever are referring to airlines but what is 9E and CP referred to just to name a couple. I don't know where ppl get these abbreviations from such as 9E
 
So... Too early to speculate on whats happening to RAHs alleged C series or should we just keep playing taps with our hats in hand?
