getting smart on the RLA for a dude not even hired yet is step 69 don't waste your time. get the job first. no one is schooling anyone on the rla. hell even the guys that have been there for decades don't have a total grasp on it.

Lotta posters and politicians need to eat serious crow

Pilot is okay and we're back to flying out here today.

The RLA is way less relevant to a new hire than the ins and outs of the contract. From the outside, it's easy to know what the hourly rate is, but really hard to actually get that that number is just a multiplier and the contract will determine how many times a month you hit that multiplier.

so is pawnman still giddy with delight that service members got kicked out of the military?

Local level is where you get the most bang for your buck. The public school system is a disaster - but it’s a good example of something local that regular people need to step up and run for. We have to rid our local boards, councils, etc. of all the shitty people. If we don’t, we get exactly what we deserve.

A great Google Earth find...simply enter 32°04'02.0"N 64°51'00.0"E to see an A-10 conducting a gun run near Sangin Afghanistan.

There are absolutely crazies in the R side and many of them are also screwing the American people. However, the fringe elements of the R side are not mainstream, their actions aren’t covered up by the mainstream media, and they constitute a minority of the party. On the D side, we are seeing the fringe philosophy become more mainstream and the media will blatantly hide it. You know I would love to see more Rs try to work with the dems and meet common ground. However, that’s hard to do when you have someone like our sitting VPOTUS threatening to “go after” Trump supporters after the 2020 election, or Maxine Watters telling her supporters to find Trump supporters in restaurants and other public places and scream them out. While similar rhetoric exists on the other side, it’s not nearly as large in scope nor as threatening.

Regardless who you vote for, make time to have your voice heard!

Sure all of the above is true AFTER you get the CJO. proof is in the pudding…there are numerous interview and resume prep companies. I bet there isn’t one “Intro to Union/RLA prep course”

Global warming strikes again.

They matter at the local level which honestly probably affects most of us as much or more than national level politics. And it plants the seeds for the future. School board members might be empowered to run for state office & then national races later on.

I agree, but is that going to work in a two party system that is more polarized every day? I don't understand how to disrupt the system so that what you typed above is actually a legit approach. Trump tried it, or at least campaigned that he was going to do it - massive, massive fail. His policies were in my opinion a huge win, but the rest of his presidency further polarized Americans. The question becomes, when you aren't advocating a party (there's realistically only two), how are you going to change anything? That's where I'm lost in our political system. I don't want either of these trainwreck parties. Where does that leave me?

Bro WTF

Danger, they cannot do that. It is illegal and will be used against them if it goes to court.

Did you mean to post that? 🤣

And it’s Panton blue, how unsurprising!

Hey dude, I’m currently on Med Hold with an L5-S1 degenerated disc and massive herniation. The pain got some bad I came forward to flight med and DNIFed myself. I was in 38s at Vance and am here just waiting to try to get back into an ejection seat. Who knows what will happen. TRUST me I understand what you are going through. I have done a ton of studying on these injuries and can help you understand better what is going on.

This is why no one honestly believes that Biden wants to bring down the price of gas/energy… "No more drilling," Biden said. "There is no more drilling. I haven’t formed any new drilling." https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-declares-drilling-during-last-minute-rally-democratic-gov-kathy-hochul

This mid term pace is destroying him. He's not going to get better and WILL get worse. He won't be around by 2024.

If the Dems want a female, they could always go with this guy.

The same military that can't properly maintain tires on vehicles isn't going to be cutting edge with aircraft coatings and paint applications me thinks.

Form 8s for everyone. Obviously crew error and definitely not a design flaw. Nothing to see here. /s

PSA to anyone looking to make the jump to the airlines: get smart on the RLA (Railway Labor Act — yes, it applies to airlines) and airline unions ASAP. It’ll hopefully save you some confusion & it will help your newfound union brothers & sisters immensely if you don’t have to be schooled on every little thing.

Is Russia losing the war, or isn’t it? What are we paying for? 1 month ago: Just now:
