Maybe how they were protected as they were escorted off the property. For years. Again?
How about being protected from having pilots who were hired 7 or 8 years after them placed senior to them forever?
And let's not forget about how LOA 25 was written to specifically protect them from having any of their longevity ever restored.
I also find it quite telling that you refer to professional men and women, in their 40's and 50's, who have had their careers gutted, whose finances, families and marriages have suffered irreparable damage, as childish pouters.
I see your point. Why not just take your ALPA pin off altogether? If you're not going to do something constructive and instead accept whatever comes down the pike, you might as well quit ALPA. Your work life is far better with ALPA representation then none at all. Ask any "post scab era" hire at LCAL the difference. Were you not paying attention with the shenanigans the IAH LEC was doing and trying to go back to the "friends of Fred" era?
p.s.
Quit feeling sorry for yourself and don't assume you were the only one to be furloughed. You weren't the first and I guarantee you won't be the last.
