We need to stand united and make our demands. One person can't do it by themselves, but together we all could. It's about time to stand up or we're going to see a continual erosion of our quality of life. It hasn't been going our direction - has it? Its not going to either until we all grow some spinal stiffness and unity.

We pilots gave a lot after 9/11 to help the airlines stay in business. Now things are looking up and profits are beginning to slowly flow. Its time we get a piece of the pie back.

We need to realize that we drive the wages and the value of this profession. We determine what it is worth. Lately it doesn't seem like we're valuing ourselves and what we provide. We have become our own worst enemy. It's not the companies or the unions, we have allowed this to happen and it's time to turn that around. We need to get involved and stand up.
