Of course they are asking you to do an awful lot...
Feel-good, rah-rah union antics do nothing to sway the views of management, no matter how much you might "support your fellow pilots". It's late 2018 now. Ask all of the Atlas pilots sporting "CONTRACT 2016" lanyards and bag tags how much closer they are to a contract now than they were 727 days ago.

The only thing I've ever seen that gets anybody's attention at all (because it might get local news to show up, and I'm still not convinced it's even all that effective, ultimately) is informational picketing. So print up some signs, line the walk at SEA/LAX/SFO, and then maybe -- maybe -- you'll move the needle. But probably not.
