Rather than blacklisting and chest beating that will ultimately lead to nowhere, press your respective carriers to step up to plate. Demand product improvement. Demand your fellow crewmembers look the part as a crewmember, rather than Beaver from "Leave it to Beaver. Demand your cabin crew to provide a level of service above mediocrity.

Yeah, I know many complain about the passengers. But remember they're the sponsors who make your paychecks possible.

Now, NAI is not subsidized. They charge low fares. They provide a full "ala carte service" to their passengers. Their customers know about bag charges, exit row seating charges, food and grog charges. For all I know, they'd probably charge for the air their passsengers breath. The home teams do the same but at a fare much greater. That said, whats the incentive for the consumer?

Now for the pilots. Most who beat their chests about blacklisting are currently employed with their "dream jobs". How about those who are unsuccessful? Where do they go? Start at the regionals?

Now for the reality check. Not too many U.S. Citizens have the EASA license. Those that do are because they were or are currently employed in Euroland, studied and obtained a JAR license and converted to an EASA license. Take a minimal percentage of those who want to continue to fly for a Euro Carrier, but based in the U.S. How many do you think are willing to fulfill the requirement of a training bond? Jump seat? Do you really think a crewmember needs to jump seat from FLL to PBI? Get real.

One step above crossing a picket line... Drama Queen.

The only enemy in your back yard is your own company for selling inferior products demanding premium prices. They are the ones out sourcing international flying under the guise of "code sharing".
