Didn't Clinton stop one of the legacy (UAL?) carriers from walking?

Political parties aside, nothing is going to change until EVERBODY on the front lines steps up. All we hear in the media is how poor customer service is. How the pilots, flight attendants, CSRs, rampers, ATC and so forth is doing a crappy job. We're working harder, for less while the executives are making bank and giving themselves bonuses. You get asshats like Carty who get fired from AA only to be picked up by Virgin America.

It's time for all of us to step it up, picket, take out ads in local papers, whatever it takes. The paying customer only sees us. They only see the two hour delays. They don't realize that we may not be getting paid during those delays. They'll never understand that we're sitting on the ramp because we value our lives and the lives of our passengers much more than we'd value flying through a TS and risking it. They don't understand that we don't all make six figures and work ten days per month. We need to do something about it, but rather than "look at how rough I have it" we need to do something different. Something like "we work our butts off for less than we made 10 years ago and our bosses keep giving themselves raises."

We are our own worst enemies. You'll always have somebody that's willing to do the same job for less just to say they do it. There are people willing to pay four years worth in salary at a pilot factory to "get a leg up". This is where it needs to stop. Have some damn respect for yourself, and others in this profession.
