Replace "approved" with "authorized" then if that's what it takes for you.

Who approved/authorized it? I put it in bold in the story. "Pilots at Pinnacle airlines authorized a strike".

Before this turns into word picking everything apart so someone can somehow in some fashion try and make their point of view founded I'll go ahead and say that for the record yes I understand what needs to happen for a strike to take place. I was saying that the pilots in their group have made a unified voice on the subject. Should it come down to it then they need to stick together and do as they said they would. If they don't then management will know that they A)aren't going to stick together and B)are all talk and no action.

This was in response to previous post about SKW and was a brief example. No more thread drift on it is required. If for some reason someone feels like debating over the use of the word "approved" instead of "authorized" then I'd rather just have the posts deleted.

Now back to the original poster at who it was aimed. Just because most pilots are upset that SKW didn't vote a union doesn't mean that we look down on SKW or their pilots. We have our differences over one subject but that doesn't mean they are a bad company, currently, nor that the pilots there are to be looked down on by any means. So far I've seen them compared to Mesa and talked down to by someone from Mesaba. Both of these are out of line and uncalled for.

P.S. Good job on the NO vote guys. Any word on if these opinions are company wide or just the few that manage to get on here? We're cheering for you.
