Or else quit your complaining. It’s easy to talk tough on an anonymous Internet forum.

Several years ago I did just that. Got fed up with the way stuff was going with the Jumpseat so I volunteered and got myself on the National j/s committee. I wasn’t always able to effectuate all the changes I wanted to see but some change did happen, and I put in the hard work and many hours to help out our newly merged pilot groups.

Just a thought… Maybe some of you here should consider that too, before trashing everything LAA without doing anything to change it (except constantly complaining.)
