I’d love to hear his “grown-up” solution to communicate his displeasure to the company and method for displaying pilot group unity within the constraints of the RLA. My guess is it looks a whole lot like deafening silence.
Yeah. The lanyards are juvenile. Yeah. They violate the FOM. And they’re one of the only legal avenues we have to show our unity and displeasure. If it’s stupid and it works, it isn’t stupid.
