The next hurtle is actually finding the wherewithal to take effective action. For instance, look at how much trouble Pinnacle pilots are having in the renegotiation of their contract. How long has it been? A few years and running? It seems nearly impossible for pilots to negotiate a contract that duly compensates us for our expertise. Really the only effective method of bringing management to terms, that I can think of anyway, is a strike. But again, it seems impossible to actually bring a pilot group to such action; considering again pilot-unity, and now also the many legal implications.

So again, where and how do we start?
