I am not at all sure what your point is Route66. ("He made MY point, however, that no matter HOW much you feel the union is your friend the REALITY is that the PILOTS WILL DO THE JOB TO GET PAID.")
I have no idea what the motives of this pilot were, but would have to take him at his word. Furthermore, two things can be true at the same time, so again, if he says that he is concerned about passengers that's good enough.
When you say " I'M LOVING IT watching this pilot group twist in the wind like a weather vane on a string in a tornado" are you not part of this pilot group? And why would you feel that way, under any circumstance ? In the future I will remember to symbolically copy paste " I'M LOVING IT watching this pilot group twist in the wind like a weather vane on a string in a tornado" after everything that you post.
