You Sir, are part of the problem

You've all brought up good points. I support our NC and appreciate their efforts.
I think unity doesn't lie in a sea of lanyards...unity lies in our actions. Period. PLENTY of our brothers and sisters sporting lanyards are doing/and have done more damage to our unity by their actions.
Problem is, we are a divided, DIVERSE group of individuals, working here with different motives (lifestyle, money, travel, etc) and who, do I dare say it(?)....here I go....bottom line, are out to take care of #1. I saw it time and time again.
If we didn't do the list of bad things, but did what was best for the pilot group, imagine how'd we look in the eyes of the company.
An A380 payrate for 777 because no one (inluding lanyard wearing MEC members) bid it...
HKG and CGN filled solely with new hires because the LOA was a POS and we felt we deserved proper compensation to go fly there and refused to bid it...
Early exit from 4a2b because no-one flew draft or VOL...(I still remember, during 4a2b standing at counter waiting to J/S out, when a lanyard wearing CA picked up the phone and called CRS ASKING if they needed help, he was jumping out and wondered if they were drafting)...
Better trip construction because if a trip is disputed, we don't touch it, period...
Take off the 767 lanyard until we have a payrate... (why don't you all yell at that guy?)
So, again, deeds not lanyards.
I didn't bid 777, I don't fly DPs, I didn't call and ask for extra flying during 4a2b, I voted no on LOA, and I sure as heck am not wearing a 767 lanyard.
I am not part of the problem.
ARE YOU?!
