The 90's hire pilots (God's Special Pilots) are pretty good entertainment on these forums. After reading "Flying the Line Volume II" they are all enlightened as if they were here at the time. They should be thankful they were never in a position to make a decision to scab. Talk is cheap.
I will see you on the line on the west coast and we can chew the fat about anything that bugs you. Also, I always buy.
Just layoff assuming everyone is a scab because they are tired of the ALPA rhetoric, it's getting a little old.
Uh huuu. 787 Capt??
We are a democratic representation. WE, meaning, ALPA, are only as good as your participation in the process. If you feel ALPA is not doing your vision, get involved. Do the work, volunteer. If you do participate, good on ya, you have every right to complain. If you do not participate, you enable a small minority to dominate the process and lose the right to complain and be heard.
Oh, and also, enforce your contract, insist on it!
