You have these tools at every airline. Just saw a pilot walk to the gate with a back pack on. Back pack? What is this high school? It is managements responsibility to have the "uniform police" and not our responsibility. I see plenty of our own pilots with completely wrinkled shirts and pants. How long does it take to iron the uniform before leaving the hotel? answer 20 minutes.

Lets drop this and move back to the important issue such as why is there such a long gap in negotiations. It would seem that if this was going to get done in a timely manner, that negotiators would meet every week with the company to hammer this thing out. I have a feeling it will be years before we see a new contract. Hope I am wrong but this idea of meeting once every 4-6 weeks doesn't work for me.
