Rizzo - I voted not because I am a line pilot, period. My loyalties are to the line pilot. No one else. I knew my union or your past union were not going to help anyone except the union workers, i.e. not the line pilot. That is the way of the past and future.
Most line pilots are good solid dudes who just fly from point A to point B. Get the paycheck and kiss their wives/girlfriends when they get home.
You can hate the union, but do not hate the guys on the forums. They are more than likely a line pilot. Most union reps and execs shy away from forums as this tarnishes their reputation. Just like a politician.
You should actually be proud of your ex-union when you voted to strike. You had unity. SWAPA has no unity.
