If by "thin skinned", you mean not willing to listen to the propaganda machine, and
actually ask questions with substance, then yes, I must admit I'm guilty.

| I believe I answered in the same manner as how the questions were asked. |
Specific questions and vague answers....the formula for bamboozling....

| Even made reference to whom you could get more detailed answers from. Usually I try to go to the source for answers to most things important. I might ask someone's opinion to get ideas from like on these boards, but I would not take it as law until proven out from a reliable source. I suggest everyone else do the same. Especially with the FAR's. |
The FAR reference is great. I really never thought of reading the book to get answers. Usually I just ask what certain FARs pertain to my job and use the PPRuNe answers as gospel. The insult of acting like I don't know where to get answers is an awesome way to discredit my post. I
could email them, but how could the answers be
vetted. The website is a sales pitch. Actual 3rd party answers would probably be your best source.

| Your questions followed much of what the "August 21 Prater Letter to the Atlas / Polar groups" which contains a number of redirections to selective self serving responses to the Teamsters movement which just makes me suspicious of your intent. |
Just so you don't mix my words, I don't like ALPA. I just happen to think Teamsters are worse. My questions came directly from reading atlasforteamsters and things like the "factsheet" and "Q & A" areas.
I'm definately no ALPA fan. But if you think it's bad now, rue the day you become a Teamster Airline Division.

| You being an ex IBT Airline Division member, you should already know the answer to a number of your questions since they deal with IBT hierarchy and administration. That just reinforces my suspicions of your intent here. |
Me being an ex-IBT Airline Division member somehow reinforces your
suspicions of my intent? My intent is to ensure that people who are voting have the
real picture of life. Not a "grass is greener" version. BTW, that "greener grass" you're looking at is AstroTurf.
Suffice it to say here's my
entire MO for my post: Yes, I'll agree with atlasforteamsters in that ALPA has serious flaws. That being said, atlasforteamsters does not represent a complete and true picture of the life
I experienced under the IBT Airline division. Every single flaw ALPA has is magnified at IBT Airline Division.
Oh, nitty, how long were you an IBT Airline Division memeber? Thanks
