There better be a call in to Bastian, and more specifically, a follow-up on that call by Bastian. ALPA often misses opportunities to show that we are pilots, not lap-dogs. The inclusion of the button in the video is probably accidental, but it's still a slap in the face.

The opportunity to respond represents a low-threat, low-visibility, low-risk chance to validate that our relationship based on respect, not belly-rubs, without suggesting anything that would impact the public perception of our relationship. The upside: an easy, low-cost, low-visibility, low-risk opportunity for the union to show that we think of ourselves as professionals. It's an internal PR thing, and it's a simple matter: the slap in the face requires removal.

So the video must be cleaned up. To accept the "Fly" button on the heels of the memo about dress codes would be pathetic. Pay attention, union: little things can mean a lot. Don't miss this one.
