They could then be disseminated here, fb, chitchat... Tape to the crapper walls, etc.
By "questions," I mean a kind of lengthy background followed by a short question. Not necessarily a filibuster--more like a question you might see from a congressman during a confirmation hearing. It gives his position, and at the very end, slips in a leading or difficult question he likely already knows the answer to put the subject publicly on the spot.
This might be a non-confrontational method to overcome the one-sided material presented by Dalpa and get our message out. Of course the actual questions won't actually be answered, but it would be a chance to get our message out there in front of a new audience. We'd only need a few to hammer home scope, sick leave, LCA trip pulls, etc.
Thoughts?
Excellent idea, PD. I'm currently creating a pamphlet to be distributed at roadshows, crewrooms, etc, and will be involving quite a few of the posters you mention. Having a list of questions to ask at the road shows, especially questions that tie into data in the pamphlet, would be very useful. Would you like to submit a few to this thread? That goes for everyone, actually.
