Interesting thread. At first I thought that there was something here, now it has deteriorated to a discussion of a potential "pilot shortage".
Where did the discussion of the solidarity of labor groups go? We are currently performing DHL work RIGHT NOW, and are proverbially being kicked in the teeth.
It's not about hiring more pilots, it's about a cohesive front to deal with draconian management at a number of different companies.
Getting pilots together and supportive of THIS kind of issue makes herding cats look easy.
So what do we do about the issue that is germane to this thread, organizing to protect our jobs and livelihood?
