Or is that's what's got your goat--that I don't mind the debate and won't slink away like others you try to shout down when you don't agree with them? And, please, Buzz come on FT? Why then you'd begrude him having a computer!
That we disagree on lots of things parnel should be obvious. But at least you're consistent in your inconsistency!

The socialist in you just came right up front didn't it. I insulted one of your heros,so now you're p!ssed! Oh well I do understand, since you live in alberta and your type is an endangered species out there in the one sane oasis of good conservative democracy in Canada.
BTW I never saw you back away from anthing..it appears you don't know how
And when did I ever try and shout you down? You're a waste of time in that department.Now lets back to the "thread" topic;Buzzie the thug and his "threads"

I spoke with someone the other day who was a Ford labour negotiator at one time and this person told me Buzzie is universally disliked in the CAW and literally got promoted to his current job to get rid of him in a direct line function. "He viscerally hates all employers that make money".
He went on to say the AC moves Buzzie made were totally predictable because he has no respect for his members in the final analysis only the dogma he believes in. Some democrat!!

But I really have to wonder why the above mentioned anti-socialist individual is so gung-ho on an airline which has decidedly pink roots? And what's with the Robert Milton worship? LastI heard, they were both just regular human beings, subject to the same human errors. Buzz may be on a bit of a power-kick, but I think that it would be fair to say that so is RM.

Their roots are decidedly less pink then before CCAA;and the continuing goal of Milton is to reduce labour costs and union membership as much as he can. Of course both go hand in hand. BTW talk to almost any AC unionized personnel and ask them how they enjoy being members with the likes of Pammy and Buzzie leading their unions. They see the handwriting on the wall for high cost airline regulated type wages and realize the thugs that lead them don't get it.
If you could read posts in detail you would note I have very often railed at Milton in the past but, giving credit where its due, he has brought the company back from the brink and AC still controls all the international routes from Canada.

And yes I am decidedly anti socialist and proud of it.

And all this time I thought Buzz was collecting his 250K Aeroplan threshold bonus at Harry Rosens. Welcome to the club, tcook. Guess we'll have to sing a chorus of the "International" instead of Take me "Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th Inning Stretch...
