when did the public ever give a flip about pilots? if you are looking to be admired get over it...
You've got to be FKM! Get over it? Me looking to get admired? yeah right. I'm blue collar baby, I bring my lunch bucket, clock in, work, clock out and go home and drink a Schlitz.....no backpack, ipod and frosted spiked hair for me...You talk about unity, then bash the idea of helping your fellow aviators by helping them in their fight for a fair contract.....way to take a post and twist it around. I said no wonder the public doesnt give a flip about us....not, "oh god I miss the little kiddies running up to me asking for my autograph and picture!"
