If you guy's weren't
so cocky about, what??
At least the SWA pilots, god bless them, are improving thier lot, maybe not in the way some (in the cockpit or riding in the back) would like, but, for better or worse, they are partners to their future not just being told what it is.
You've been in business long enough that you and your colleiges should be taking greater control of your destiny. Before you jump on the "ALPA Hate wagan", go another direction, just,
do something!!
You don't see Airtain catching sh** and thier package also sucks, but at least
they are players in deciding their destiny.
Ahhhh....OK. It's clear now. Code words again. "the greater cause of airline flying." "improving their lot" "partners to their future" "players in deciding their destiny" All meaning
Guys, please unionize. I really wish you'd just say that instead of dancing around it. It would have saved us a lot of time.
So I'll agree to being at an impasse, because we haven't built up the requisite animosity in JB to unionize. Who knows what will happen in the future -- maybe all you nay-sayers will turn out to have been incredibly insightful and not just greedy. I swear I will be the first to apologize and admit it. But having people at other airlines really really wanting us to unionize so that they have a chance to get paid more isn't a good enough argument.
I must admit that I'm confused by your saying that you just want us to think, argue, and defend, when I keep seeing well-thought-out argument after well-thought-out argument (and I'm not talking about me -- I'm a relatively recent poster) on the JB side summarily ignored and countered by "yeah, but you REALLY should get paid more. And unionize." over and over and over again from the other.
And I truly fail to see how "Actually, I really enjoy my job" in the face of "no you don't! your job sucks and your company sucks and you're a bunch of brain-dead freaks!" comes off as cocky.
btw, diamonddd, that was hilarious.
