They won't know what hit them til it's over.
Then decades later, after futile attempts to claw back what they thought was the best contract ever, the airline will hire new pilots. Those new pilots will be told of the bitter old pilots they share the cockpit with. The new pilots will attempt to drown out the warnings.

You mean history repeats itself? Wow what a concept!
It wasn't too long ago that the SCABS were all told they were the modern day equivalent of Jesus by management and that God had sent them to free the airline from the union pilots who were dragging the airline down with those weighty labor contracts during deregulation.
Lets not prostittue ourselves, even in times of trouble. Let's have our dignity and our contract too. Oh yeah one more thing. Scope protections need to be tougher; a whole lot tougher. Let's core 4 that concept for a while.
My Core 4: enforce and strengthen the contract, hold management accountable, strengthen our unions influence on government and the regulatory process, protect the profession by strengthening scope.
