And like I said before, if it comes down to mgmt deciding enough was enough, I'd be the first to turn in my card...Until then, however, I'll stick with the great atmosphere we've got here. I'm not a teenager rebelling against my parents anymore - I left that years ago. I hope my fellow SKW Pilots have as well!

Of course, I feel for any Pilot fighting for a better contract...you've got my support 100%. Going ALPA won't be showing any more support. And for all those Pilots out there telling us that we should be going ALPA, please, please, please don't be so selfish. And I mean that in the best way possible...But for what ALPA could potentially bring to us would cost us SO much more in happiness. And in the end, that's what matters, right? I'd rather take home a buck less per hour than fight tooth and nail for a few more cents on the dollar, and just to lose, in effect, the personal feel of this company that most of us have come to enjoy.
