Wrenchbender, none of my comments towards you were ever in malcontent. I work a union job, as well, in Education. Living in the U.S. I’m sure you’re well aware of the budjet cuts that education has gone through the last 3 years, especially in California. Yet, we continue to spend millions in the space program sending robots to Mars. Why? Are we going to be living there anytime soon? Is there a cure for AIDS or Cancer up there that we are trying to find? I certainly hope so, because valuable money is being wasted in doing that rather than spending it on education. Our benefits are being cut, as well, salary freezes, you name it. My district nearly went on strike a few years ago. Had that happened, the victims would have been our youth. So believe it or not, I do feel your pain, as well as thousands of other union workers. I do not condone what the higherarchy of United has done to you or other employees of United. I continue to fly them because I’m premier executive and they take care of me with upgrades, FF bonuses, and the like, which carries over to their parners, as well. We all come in here to talk about aviation. Some of us obviously know more than others, but that doesn’t take away from those of us that aren’t in the industry. I know a little bit more than the layout of the interior, what the napkins say, etc.
P.S. Thanks Kev-dog
