It is a start, but I think more should be done, and when the public, who already thinks they are flying a po-dunk airline when they see our ticket prices sees that the people most responsible for their lives are doing so at 50% of what their peers make at a "real airline" it doesn't instill a whole lot of confidence. It will put pressure on and make people think twice that another strike may be in the works.
I say we push for informational picketing. I believe it's a strong message of unity to management that we still are fired up about a new contract and we are willing to do what ever it takes to get it done!
