Jebus! I've spent the evening slaying the dragons on the ALPA board! |
|
ALPA = Air Line Pilots Association. The airline pilot freeps are out of the woodwork. I was the subject of a major ad hominum attack. I fought hard. Several joined me. I think we won. Whew!

2. Airline pilots are in one of the industries MOST threatened by job loss. |
|
Now many of these are former military officers (?most?) so that would tend to give a GOP slant, but aren't there, ahem, a few who are not so happy with the naked emperor?

3. Didn't ALPA endorse Kerry? |
|
Or is there a lot of freeperism among the rank and file at your airline?

Delta laying off nearly 7,000 and they are asking the pilots for some of the pension back :shrug: God, I don't get it, I just don't get it. Why is there such a shroud thrown over this administration's failures?

6. Demo, what are you finding about fellow vet sentiment? |
|
From what I can see it's pretty virulently split thanks to Kerry's 1971 testimony etc... and SBVT have successfully fueled the fire. I had no idea it was so bad.
