I disagree, we do have the power to change it, but lack the grassroots drive to do so.

Too few professional pilots are getting involved in the political fight to reform our antiquated labor laws and one sided bankruptcy code.

Too many rationalize their apathy and take a smug or cynical attitude towards those who are trying to make a difference.

Too few professional pilots hold their elected legislators accountable for their votes on labor issues.

Too many professional pilots only see the labor movement through their own narrow interests and don't understand that without support for a robust national labor movement we will all eventually be picked off piecemeal.

If pilots wanted to make a real difference today they'd joined a political action committee like ALPA-PAC and encourage others to do so also. At the end of the day we are reaping today what our political apathy and cynicism has earned us.
