By boycotting the meeting we demonstrate that we don't need to listen to their old worn out recording of someday, maybe, perchance...things will get better. We as a group have better options and we don't need to waste our time being lied to.
No pilots at the job fair
No pilots in the ground school
No pilots at the propaganda meeting
I believe that what you're suggesting would only make sense if everyone stops showing up to work. Why would they care if we don't show up to the meeting when they know we'll be at work tomorrow flying their passengers around? The less people show up to the meeting the quicker they'll go on about their day and the less hard questions they have to answer in front of the *recording* camera. Just my .02
