To the young pilots I have one question.


When you are approaching retirement, How are the then young pilots going to think of you and your efforts? Are they going to push to improve retirement for you? Are they going to appreciate your efforts for improving the CBA? Your union volunteerism? The amount of negotiation capital you spend on fixing secondary lines, reserve, training issues, FDA issues?

When is it your turn to roll up your sleeves and serve your fellow pilots?

When are you going to attend local council meetings, recall reps that are not working for you, in short when are you going to get involved.

If every pilot gave 1% of their time, we would have 1000 pilots at every local council meeting in MEM and every rep would have 1500 email a quarter. The last local council meeting had 67 line pilots. The one before, 21.


How do you want to be remembered as you are approaching retirement?



Oh and I lied about having just one question, who knew.
