Saying such things on public forum do a disservice to those working hard on negotiations.
I can't "respectfully" disagree with those opinions.
Amen.
Someone who doesn't advocate for fair pay, refuses to show solidarity by simply wearing a lanyard, and then pretty much outright admits they are disconnected and don't care about these historic negotiations (see quote, "I come to work, do my job and go home, I never make any waves, and I do everything as my employer asks me to.") does not deserve respect.
I am not advocating for any work action, but in case you haven't noticed, A319, getting ground air hooked up takes an act of God in 99% of our stations. Never mind that when you pull in and wait 5 minutes for the GPU to be hooked up, ramp is mindlessly wandering around your idling engine. If you think the risks outweigh the couple of $$$ of fuel, and making our pax and FAs uncomfortable (as if their job isn't bad enough) is a better alternative than running the APU, then by all means, carry on.
