Floyd, I like what you wrote and agree with your sense of the solidarity idea. I do. but see this..

Cadetdrvr. My experience during C2000 and post-bk contract has been that the copilots with pins and stickers and strike preparedness pins were the more likely ones to not want to rock the boat or "inconvenience the passengers" as many told me. and i always asked about their strike preparedness pin and asked if they thought a strike was an inconvenience. never did get a good reply. I've had MANY pilots with pins all over tell me "there would never be another strike."
have a good savings account. have your monthly expenses low enough to survive. have another gameplan. lots of good folks walked away from CAL back in 83 and never came back. folks in 85 left the cockpit and were prepared but scared of never coming back.
when i see folks all jazzed up with plastic pins and stickers but arent prepared to fight the fight, I am not impressed. at all
