With this low level of participation by the rank and file, while going through Mediation, Lynx grievances, Frontier in general, litigation involving FAPAInvest, possible Release and strike, it seems that the RAH pilots will reap what the sow.

The title of this thread, sadly enough, ought to be "What have you done for the IBT lately?" The strike vote was a nice message but this thing will die a long, slow death if the Membership depends on the seven EBoard members and their volunteers and Attorney (singular).

You have got to find a way to get more pilots involved, instead of just posting on your message board, 90% of which posts are made by ~5% of the membership.

Is everyone just waiting for a chance to get out to the Majors or do they just not care? It's time for everyone to step it up a notch, quit worrying about what level of Non-357 endorsed work action and join the fray.

If I were Management, I'd look at the number of picketers and the membership participation (or lack thereof) in determining my Mediation/Negotiation strategies. If no one cares enough to actually join in, than I would continue sending Negotiators that can't make decisions and drag the process out for as long as I can.

Does anyone in upper Management at 357 (or any RAH pilot) have a theory as to why more pilots aren't joining in?
