They do list those which are AFA (Flight Attendants) as CWA (really?) and the one who are Machinists. Strange.</p> Followed that link to Union products and services, none of the airlines who are ALPA are listed there.

[I know that’s north of Mason Dixon,but I am half Yankee,btw.]

Delicioso,and how!

Here’s an idea-how’s about some union bakers get together and make some liquor soaked cakes…..soaked with union made liquor?Then sell them online for holiday gift giving.

Maybe even FDL could provide a link to order them?

After all, the holidays are just ’round the corner.

Tula,can you hear me?

Fruit cake, now that was a different matter. That sucker got soaked with bourbon for something like a week before Xmas. This was not the fruit cake people joke about. Good shit and there was never any left by New Years.</p> It was rum balls in my family, both sides, but I do vaguely remember bourbon balls from somewhere.

Why ,it wasn’t Christmas without bourbon balls in our household!
