using Agent as my newsreader. your
posts fail to wordwrap. Is that something I can fix on my end?

Select Word Wrap on the View pull-down menu.

Thanks. It's actually in the "Message" PD Window,

That's probably because you are running a newer version than me.

and it doesn't affect Jose's posts.

It should wrap the text to the right boundary of the message pane,
instead of forcing you to use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom
of the pane to view the end of his lines.

Air traffic controllers are directing traffic to perpetuate their own
existence in a way that's different from hotel maids?


Uh Oh, you've figured it out. We could be more efficient if you'd just
pay us more. Jay's argument is ridiculous but is clouded by living in
liberal hell.

Tell ya what Jay. You jump off a 6,000 foot mountain in a hang glider in
25
mph winds and I'll start a business. When you do, I want to be there to
see
your knees knocking and the **** stain growing in your pants. Or better
yet, forget the hang glider.

Big ****in' deal... It's not like you have to worry about losing an
engine...

What makes this largely possible is the fact that, through the
union, we are all brothers.

Sounds pretty ****in' socialistic...

Unfortunately, most people don't see anything wrong with that....

Geez, even we require that men's dress shirts that are able to be tucked
in, be tucked in....
These guys have to watch out, now the "black, fag, whatever" poster has
EVIDENCE :-). Personally I think the skirt with cowboy boots makes the
point quite well. I was appalled to find out a few years ago that some
school districts still require female teachers to wear skirts at all times.

My God. I had no idea the FAA was so controlled by their union that
they feel they must put up with this sort of thing. Imagine -- they've
got a current employee, on staff, who runs a website solely for the
purposes of impugning his employer!

Jay, I really like you, but, get your head out of your ..., well, you
know what I mean.

We happen to live in a FREE country where one has the right to speak
ones mind against the government even if the government is your employer.

And what a fool. He has neatly and succinctly documented his own
insubordination. Snidely referring to the company CEO as "Maid
Marion?" Documenting the insubordination of his fellow employees in a
photographic record, and publishing it worldwide?

Insobordination is not calling someone a name. I can call my boss
whatever I want as long as when he says jump, I jump. I can protest my
having to jump, but I jump.

In the real world (meaning anything outside of our totally screwed up
government) his career would be measured in nanoseconds.

Not really. My ex-husband once worked for a major pharmacutical company
and they were doing an efficiency study. The team came upon a
researcher sleeping in his office. When they reported this to upper
management they responded with "YOU DIDN'T WAKE HIM UP DID YOU????".
Apparently this researcher came to work everyday and slept all day.
Once every few years he'd wake up, write down a formula and make many
millions for the company.

You live in a service industry mindset.
My respect for controllers could not have been more diminished. Quite
frankly, after many years of holding the FAA in the highest regard, I
now must admit that I've never seen an organization with a more
self-destructive workforce in my life -- and I've worked for some very
large, very dumb corporations. If any further evidence of the need to
privatize the FAA is necessary, I will be very surprised.


If you think wearing business attire while working in a tower is
important I suggest you look at your priorities. I want my controllers
to be as comfortable as possible. I think we should require the
government to issue comfy sweats and slippers to all.

What a shame.

I'm sure when they are privatized the dress code will go away. Then we
can pay user fees and the controllers will wear what they want. They
sit in little dark rooms or up in tall towers. Who cares what they wear?

No, the MacNicol tartan is far more colorful:

I also like to wear the Irish National tartan to a local sports venue:

So where are the pictures, I love to see a man in a kilt provided his
legs are worthy. :-)

I've not seen Steve mention his legs. He said in Message-ID:
:

I know I can be replaced tomorrow by someone younger, stronger,
and cheaper, but I cannot be replaced by anyone smarter.

I presume that last fact is a result of his IQ score falling at the
top of the range in his job description.

Perhaps he can dance a cleaver Highland jig as compensation for any
criticism of his legs you may find. :-)
