Like I said .... 2x already... it isn't that big of a deal....
most of the guys in my class didn't wear the clip.... maybe it is more of a 2172 than 1436...... we didn't want to be associated with the cantankerous red clip guys. We were there to complete training... not be political..... maybe I'll get a real UNITEd blue clip that means I am not CAL, not a SCAB, not a 570, not a 2172... combine that with my inverted ALPA pin, everyone will know exactly where I politically stand.
Or...... maybe...
I'll just wear my ALPA pin upright, fly professionally, defend the JCBA militantly and lookout for all of my union bothers and sisters.... minus the scabs of course.... (What is more hilarious than a dead scab? A dead scab in clown suit....
)
