How is management lying to customers? Amazon says they don't see any evidence of a labor shortage... because, using your words, "at the end of the day, all the flights still get covered". What other definition is there of a labor shortage (from the customer's point of view)?

I'm not saying 1224 didn't speak the truth; they (we) absolutely did. My question is: what's the point? Picketing is supposed to drive down a stock price (it went up), scare customers away (Prime customers increased by 500%), and overall hurt the company (it didn't, neither AAWH or Amazon).

It's one thing to picket saying "we want a bigger piece of the pie!" That's just basic awareness, getting our story out there. The company gets harmed by our actions hopefully, or maybe they don't. Either way, we are furthering our cause, and the message is clear: we just want our part.

But no. 1224 went right for the jugular. We picketed the customer (for the first time ever?). And our message wasn't "we want a bigger piece of the pie!", it was "your business results and performance will suffer by using our company!"

That was our strategy. "Can Amazon deliver?" Picketing events, billboards, a website, a high-production value video... all of these things cost a lot of money, and all asked the consumer and the customer to consider the same question: Can Amazon deliver?

It makes us look like fools when Amazon delivers resoundingly well. Historically well.

I FULLY support a picketing/marketing campaign that says "we deserve a bigger piece of the pie!" I FULLY support the solidarity of our pilot group, in my words and my actions. I just think that the message that we spent so much of our money on was misguided.
