I AM a "mainline" (within RAH) Airbus pilot and have NO desire to be associated with the incredibly immature, insensitive and ignorant comments made by those such as Mojito.

I am no fan of the IBT ("All available means"), IBT 357, the head of the Airline Division, the NC or the President of 357, but I do respect the vast majority of the line pilots of RAH and empathize with their predicament.

This is not a time for gloating or flaming, they are facing serious issues. Who is at fault at this point is mostly irrelevant, there is no need to pile on by mocking their situation.

Mojito and company, Karma's a a B***h dude, hope you don't find yourself in the exact same situation at some point in your career, it may happen sooner than you think.

And, there ain't no way this is going to pass. I sincerely hope the vote is 100% opposed.

Even after the "proposal" is rejected, the RAH pilots have a long road ahead of them. As I mentioned, I am no fan of CM, but I agree - the NMB (there is no NLRB in aviation) - is either corrupt, insane, lazy or very pro-management. Sorry, I can't help it, they're like Eischen.

It is interesting that the IBT's selling point is that it's a "Bottom up" organization vs ALPA (also not a fan of them), which is supposed to be a "Top down" organization.

A nice yurt, a goat herding job and a MMJ garden in the Colorado mountains sounds pretty good right now, wherever you are in this messed up industry.

Those that have held a Union leadership position are automatically qualified to herd goats, goats (or cats or any non-human animal) are more logical and caring than a pilot group. At least when an old goat dies, the rest of the goats don't dive for their seniority list to see, "How does this affect ME."

They also don't say "brilliant" things like, "Lets just grow more grass" = "Why don't we raise the ticket price" like they are the first person to think of that and it would solve everything.

Lighten up on our fellow pilots at RAH and let them work through this as best they can.

Good luck guys and gals.
